K/BIS Sets New Record for
Exhibitors
Orlando, FL – The Kitchen/ Bath Industry Show
(K/BIS), conducted at the Orange County Convention Center in
Orlando last month, showcased its products and services in a total
of 3,605 exhibit booths – an all-time record for the event –
according to show sponsors.
The 1999 K/BIS, attracted 615 exhibiting companies and more than
30,000 attendees, according to preliminary estimates released by
sponsors of the three-day trade show and concurrent educational
conference. Final attendance figures were not available as of press
time from the show’s co-sponsor, the National Kitchen & Bath
Association.
The K/BIS, which marked its 18th anniversary in 1999, has been the
focal point of criticism among some manufacturers for its annual
status.
Next year’s K/BIS is scheduled for April 7-9 in Chicago.
