BETHLEHEM, PA -- The National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) revealed today that the 2023 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) attendee registration is pacing ahead of both the 2020 and 2022 shows, during the same timeframe. The annual event, owned by NKBA and produced by its show partner Emerald, is the largest North American trade expo and networking opportunity for kitchen and bath industry professionals. Key data reveals the following for KBIS 2023:

• Attendee registration continues to outpace both 2020 (+19%) and 2022 (+71%) shows; a trend that began as soon as registration opened.
