The KBIS Conference Program has been completely redeveloped for 2010. All conference sessions, industry segment seminars, professional development courses, and complimentary Center Stage presentations will be marked with an icon for one of four knowledge paths: Sales & Marketing, Design & Inspiration, Trends & Insight, and Business & Leadership.
“Attending the 2010 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show is essential for anyone who's serious about the kitchen and bath industry,” said 2009 NKBA President-Elect Mark Karas, CMKBD.
