BKBG and Forte Pledge Support for Design
Expo
Burnsville, MN Cygnus Business Media, parent
company of Kitchen & Bath Design News, has announced that the
Bath & Kitchen Buying Group (BKBG) and Forte Buying Group have
pledged their support to the Kitchen & Bath Design &
Remodeling Expo.
Sponsored by K&BDN and supported by its sister
magazines, Qualified Remodeler and Design/ Build Business, the
Kitchen & Bath Design & Remodeling Expo will be held
October 19-21, 2004 in King of Prussia, PA at the Valley Forge
Convention Center.
The Expo, designed to serve the residential kitchen and bath
industry as well as the housing and remodeling industries, will
bring together national and regional manufacturers, distributors
and other suppliers who provide products and services for kitchen
and bath buyers and specifiers, according to show manager Pati
Beaulieu. It “will provide timely and compelling content in a
convenient regional setting, aimed at filling a void in a key East
Coast market,” Beaulieu added.
Attendees will be on hand from various arms of the
kitchen and bath industry, including kitchen and bath dealers,
remodelers, designers, distributors, architects, builders and
others engaged in residential remodeling.
2004 Spotlight Exhibitors will include the
BKBG/Forte pavilion, 20-20 Technologies, Roland & Roland,
Ellsworth-Kiel & Associates and International Marketing
Management Group.
The Kitchen & Bath Design & Remodeling
Expo’s exhibit floor will also feature an organization member
pavilion endorsed by BKBG and Forte, offering solutions under the
BKBG/Forte umbrella.
Innovative products and services for cabinets,
hardware, appliances, countertops, plumbing and more will be
available throughout the exhibit floor, as well.
Beaulieu stated, “Relationships established at the
Expo will be important to exhibitors and attendees as they connect
in October and continue to do business. Participation in a regional
event is an effective use of time and dollars, allowing
professionals to acquire knowledge and network with their peers
without the inconvenience and expense of travel.”
In addition to evaluating products and making
purchasing decisions, show attendees will also have an opportunity
to attend conference sessions designed by K&BDN, Qualified
Remodeler and Design/ Build Business.
Some 15 seminars focusing on kitchen and bath
design, business management, sales and marketing topics will be
conducted in conjunction with the three-day event. National Kitchen
& Bath Association (NKBA) certification will be offered, as
well.
A complete line-up of the show’s educational
program will be published in future issues of K&BDN.
Cygnus Business Media is a leading, diversified
business-to-business media company with a portfolio of more than
200 media products, including K&BDN.
