KBISNeXT Stage Brings Fresh Programming and Dynamic Conversations to KBIS Virtual

The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), the destination for kitchen and bath design professionals, has revealed the A-list lineup for the NKBA presents KBISNeXT Stage during KBIS Virtual in February. A cornerstone of this year's KBIS Virtual experience, and historically one of the most popular KBIS destinations, the KBISNeXT Stage delves into provocative industry topics throughout the show, Feb. 9-12, 2021.

"This last year has reshaped the conversations we have about the home and more specifically, the kitchen and bath.

"This year's KBIS NeXT Stage topics and guest panelists tackle the new design challenges and discussions affecting every facet of the industry that have been brought to the forefront."
