As we enter March, I feel surrounded by a buzz of activity. My trip to Las Vegas for The International Surface Event (TISE) was the start of my traveling for 2023, and I could not ask for a better launching point. There was definitely an energetic vibe at the show, and actually, Las Vegas in general since the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) and the NAHB International Builders’ Show were held simultaneously. There were people and lines everywhere – a positive indicator that we are getting back to pre-pandemic conditions. Another promising sign was that most exhibitors I spoke with seemed happy. While some express concern of what might be down the pipeline, currently business is good for most.
To hear more about our experience at TISE/StonExpo/TilExpo, listen to the wrap-up podcast Jason and I recorded, which can be found in this edition. Also, be sure to check our websites regularly for stories on some of the highlights.
