Why KBIS + IBS together
KBIS - Kitchen & Bath Industry Show
- Kitchen and bath buyers: designers, dealers, distributors, showroom buyers
- If you make cabinetry, kitchens, baths, or tile, your buyers walk KBIS
IBS - International Builders' Show
- Home builders, general contractors, multifamily developers placing volume orders
- If you make flooring, lighting, windows/doors, hardware, or tools, your buyers walk IBS
Both shows are part of Design & Construction Week: same dates (February 2-4, 2027), same venue (Las Vegas Convention Center), with attendee traffic flowing between the two halls. Our 300 sqm pavilion sits inside the IBS hall, and KBIS kitchen-and-bath buyers walk over the same day - one booth, both audiences.
What's free + what's paid
- Full booth space (carpet, back wall, lighting, power drop)
- Individual fascia sign (your English company name + logo)
- 1 counter + 1 lockable storage cabinet
- 2-3 NAHB exhibitor badges
- Pavilion-level marketing (NAHB website, IBS app, pavilion email)
- On-site bilingual staff (Chinese + English) we provide
- Sample consolidation coordination to Las Vegas (no service fee from us)
- Post-show buyer lead list

How to apply
Reply "IBS Booth" on WeChat, or use the form at the bottom of this page. We send:
- A 5-question qualification checklist
- After qualification: a 15-minute call to walk through fit, cost, and next steps
- If you decide to proceed: a formal participation agreement and quote
Replying 'IBS' on WeChat, getting the PDF, the 15-minute call, and the formal quote - all free. Specific costs for joining are discussed after we put together the marketing plan with you. We will not follow up daily asking if you are in.
This does not conflict with your other channels
If you already work with us on the discount / liquidation side (dollar stores, off-price, closeout, ASD), IBS is an addition, not a replacement:
- Discount / liquidation buyers walk ASD, IHA, High Point, Tupelo. Not IBS.
- IBS buyers are home builders, multifamily developers. They buy building products, kitchens, baths, flooring, lighting.
- The two channels barely overlap in factory type, sales motion, or buyer profile.
The target factories for this IBS pavilion are building-products factories: cabinetry, kitchens, baths, flooring, lighting. Factories in other categories (furniture, soft home, textiles, general consumer goods) are also welcome to apply - reply on WeChat to discuss whether your specific situation is a fit for IBS.
