Housewares Business-to-business magazine for housewares retailers and their suppliers
More than 1,700 exhibitors are set for The Inspired Home Show 2024, March 17-19 at Chicago’s McCormick Place, the International Housewares Association reported.
The show, presenting a new two-hall layout in McCormick Place’s North and South Halls, runs each of its three days from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. An extra hour from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Sunday and Monday will allow buyers and exhibitors to complete meetings in progress.
The new layout has the Wired + Well Expo moving from the Lakeside Centre to the North Hall, co-locating with the Clean + Contain Expo. Exhibits and displays located in the Lakeside Centre Lobby, including the Smart Home Pavilion and Inventors Corner, will now be located in the North and South Halls. The International Sourcing Expo will return to Level 1 of the North Hall.
“We’re excited about the new configuration as it creates the most vibrant, productive and efficient trade show experience possible for buyers and sellers,” said Derek Miller, IHA president & CEO. “Positioning the three primary expos, which also includes Dine + Décor, together in the North and South Halls, brings the industry’s core categories into a central location that is much easier and more efficient to navigate with quick trips between two halls now being possible.”
The show is set to include 300 first-time exhibitors and returning companies, of which more than 100 well-known brands are back after an absence, according to IHA. These include Artland, BergHOFF, BSH Bosch, Cool Gear, Corkcicle, Cuisinart, Emile Henry, Fissler, J.K. Adams, Everplush-Tricol Clean, Jean Dubost, Joseph Joseph, Keurig/Dr. Pepper, Lotus Sustainables, Midea, Opinel, Range Kleen Scan Pan, Stolzle Lausitz Glassware and Tramontina.
