With hybrid work arrangements increasing, many people find themselves juggling two very different types of workday and new daily challenges at home.
Social media is playing an increasingly important role in purchase decisions. Whether inspiration or product discovery, information-gathering or purchase, it’s a topic that came up again and again at The Inspired Home Show 2023.
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.
