The Inspired Home Show® 2024, next March in Chicago, will undergo several exciting changes. After carefully considering feedback received from two industry-wide surveys and four special committees made up of both exhibitors and retailers, the IHA Board of Directors has decided to reduce the overall length and to optimize the Show layout to create the most vibrant, productive and efficient trade show experience possible for the industry. The Show will now open on Sunday, March 17 and close on Tuesday, March 19.
The housewares industry came together to raise $1 million during the 2023 Housewares Cares Charity Gala presented by the Housewares Charity Foundation (HCF) on Monday, March 6. Proceeds from the event benefited the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), the HCF’s legacy charity, and the James Beard Foundation, the gala’s partner as well as Winning With Wyatt and the V Foundation.
More than 1,600 exhibitors and nearly 30,000 home + housewares professionals from 125 countries came together at The Inspired Home Show 2023 to discover new products, reconnect with colleagues and advance the industry.
The Inspired Home Show 2023 at Chicago’s McCormick Place concluded on Tuesday, but the opportunities, relationships and ideas that were generated here will live on in the year ahead.
Both art and science are important factors in the color and design trends influencing home and housewares right now, said color expert Lee Eiseman in her keynote address, The Art of Living: Directional Color/Design Trends, at The Inspired Home Show 2023.
Consumers are prioritizing wellness, but they also value time, space, experience and responsibility said the IHA Market Watch authors at a keynote session at The Inspired Home Show 2023.
