One Badge, Five Shows
LAS VEGAS – This city – famous for its sumptuous resort buffets – will be the all-you-can-meet center for hard-surfaces trade shows late this month.
A unique “co-date” agreement will allow attendees of five trade shows – including The International Surface Event (TISE) and the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) – access between events during the concurrent opening dates of Jan. 31-Feb. 2.
In addition to TISE and KBIS, the intershow access will include the International Builders Show (IBS), the National Hardware Show (NHS) and the Las Vegas Winter Market.
Free shuttles will connect TISE at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center with KBIS and IBS (collectively called Design Construction Week, or DCW) at the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Winter Market at World Market Center Las Vegas.
“The International Surface Event is pleased to offer a partnership with DCW, NHS and Las Vegas Market for 2023,” said Dana Hicks, TISE show director. “This partnership will offer the widest breadth of product offerings and inspiration for the markets that all these events serve.
“We understand that time is valuable to every business professional and offering this opportunity to expand the buying and sourcing possibilities concurrently between the events in Las Vegas will benefit all events’ attendees. We look forward to hosting DCW and Las Vegas Market attendees and we invite the industry to discover what we have in store for them.”
“We are very excited to have TISE co-date with Design & Construction Week and expand the great offerings of that week even further,” said Jerry Howard, CEO of the National Association of Home Builders, the owners of IBS. “Having access to five incredible shows covering all aspects of the housing industry is an unbeatable value for our attendees. Las Vegas is the place to be for our industry that week.”
“We are so excited to continue the momentum of D&C Week,” added Bill Darcy, CEO of NKBA, the owner of KBIS. “Adding TISE to the list of shows in Vegas this January is a fantastic way of uniting the K&B community, and connecting them with more brands, products, and new technologies.”
“With TISE joining the mix, we have so many great opportunities for the NHS Community to discover more products and make great connections with new potential partners,” said Beth Casson, NHS event vice president. “We are really excited to bring all of these communities together for a fantastic week in Vegas!”
