The World’s Leading Home + Housewares Show
March 10–12, 2026 | McCormick Place | Chicago, IL
It’s no secret: It hasn’t been an easy few years. That’s why many consumers are looking to lean into the magic and joy of Hanukkah, Christmas and New Year’s in 2022. What does this mean for holiday décor trends? The sky’s the limit, especially when creativity, comfort and culture are the themes.
At-home entertaining is staging a major comeback overall. As COVID-19 fears subside in many parts of the world, people are looking to reconnect with family and friends in person. In addition, inflation is driving more consumers to entertain at home, where many are eager to use cooking skills they learned during the pandemic.
The Inspired Home Show and the International Housewares Association (IHA), the global sponsors and organizers of the IHA Global Innovation Awards (gia) program, announced the Global Honorees for the gia Top Window Awards during the “Enhance Your Visual Toolbox / gia Top Window Award” presentation by gia expert juror Anne Kong earlier today during Connect FALL.
Connect FALL, an IHA virtual event, is set for Oct. 11-13 with exclusive, in-depth content designed to bring the housewares industry together around critical industry education.
Top housewares brands that were unable to participate in The Inspired Home Show 2022 are committing to returning to the Show in 2023.
QVC and the Housewares Charity Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the home and housewares industry, have joined forces once again to present Living for Giving, a cross-platform shopping event to support Feeding America.
