Design & Construction Week is one of the most important platforms attracting 100,000 industry professionals annually. Between January 31, 2023, and February 2, 2023, three big tradeshows were held in Las Vegas: the National Hardware Show (NHS), the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), and the International Builders Show (IBS). We had the pleasure to meet many professionals at our booth at the NHS 2023. Our photo essay covers the main tradeshows that took place during Design & Construction Week 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Design & Construction Week (DCW) features the co-location of the National Kitchen & Bath Association’s Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) and the NAHB International Builders’ Show (IBS). In 2023, the DCW also co-dated with the Las Vegas Winter Market (LVMKT), the International Surface Event (TISE), and the National Hardware Show (NHS). The five shows recorded nearly 200,000 industry attendees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event was massive, taking place in the entire Las Vegas Convention Complex (more than 1 million square feet of exhibit space). An underground transportation system made moving between halls easier and faster. The experience was streamlined since one badge gave access to all five events. Reports say that the 2023 event was the biggest since 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The National Hardware Show is a comprehensive event serving the hardware and home improvement industry since 1945. It is the largest home and hardware-related show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2023 attendance: about 17,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n
