MIA Joins IBS, KBIS for Design & Construction Week®
OBERIN, Ohio – The Marble Institute of America (MIA) announced yesterday that it’s a supporting organization of the Design & Construction Week (DCW) industry collaboration set for Jan. 19-22 in Las Vegas.
The week’s founding partners, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA), will once again have a concurrent NAHB International Builders’ Show® (IBS) and the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show® (KBIS) in Las Vegas.
The International Surface Event (TISE) and the International Window Coverings Expo (IWCE) will join in for the third-annual event anticipated to draw more than 110,000 industry professionals in the largest residential design and construction exposition in the nation.
Members of MIA will enjoy discounted registration for the event, while the organization’s leaders will participate in the Design & Construction Week Executive Roundtable to discuss issues and trends in the U.S. housing market and exchange ideas with other industry leaders.
“MIA is thrilled to be a DCW Supporting Organization,” said MIA President Dan Rea. “We look forward to the networking and education opportunities offered by this event. MIA members will benefit greatly from attending Design & Construction Week.”
“MIA is the leading stone industry association in the country, so they are a natural fit to take part in Design & Construction Week, the largest annual residential construction event in the nation,” said NAHB Chairman Tom Woods. “We are pleased to be able to welcome them as a DCW Supporting Organization, and look forward to another great show in 2016.”
“As a founding partner in DCW it is incredibly rewarding for us to see the continued growth of this must-attend event. By joining forces to forge the DCW partnership, NKBA and NAHB have demonstrated that there is enormous strength in collaboration. Bringing so many industry representatives together in one location creates huge value for everyone involved,” added NKBA CEO Bill Darcy (KBIS).
