Strategic Meetings and Industry Impact
“The Inspired Home Show is known for strong top-to-top meetings between key decision-makers from the world’s leading home and housewares suppliers and influential retailers,” said Derek Miller, IHA president & CEO. “Senior managers from both the supplier and buyer sides constantly tell us how beneficial it is to be able to have so many strategic meetings in just three days and all under one roof.”
A Hub for Product Discovery and Innovation
The Show is a key platform for buyers to discover new and innovative products, which will be especially important for growth in the year ahead, Miller said. More than 10,000 new products were introduced at last year’s Show, and that number is expected to increase at this year’s event.
