With KBIS 2026 now less than a month away, the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show unveiled new and returning media experiences designed to amplify industry voices and extend the energy of the show far beyond the convention center walls.
Taking place February 17–19, 2026, in Orlando, Florida, KBIS will debut the all-new KBIS Live Studio while welcoming back the popular KBIS Podcast Studio for a second year.
Together, the two programs reflect KBIS’s expanding multimedia footprint, offering exhibitors, designers, and attendees new ways to connect, engage, and share ideas both on-site and online.
“KBIS is a pivotal time of year for so many in our industry,” said Bill Darcy, Global President & CEO of NKBA|KBIS. “It’s where brands and specifiers – leaders and decision-makers – connect, collaborate, and inspire. We’re proud to be expanding our media footprint and developing meaningful content that extends the lifetime and reach of our show, offering more resources, larger audiences, and greater exposure for our exhibitors and attendees alike.”
KBIS Live Studio
Located at the heart of the show floor, the KBIS Live Studio will broadcast daily throughout the three-day event, capturing interviews, product reveals, and attendee moments in real time. The studio is part of a new partnership between KBIS and Homeworthy, the home design platform known for showcasing exceptional interiors and compelling design storytelling.
Led by Emmy Award-winner Alison Kenworthy, Homeworthy brings a massive digital reach to the collaboration, with more than 50 million followers and over 100 million monthly impressions. Content filmed in the Live Studio will stream live across Homeworthy channels during all three show days, featuring designers, industry experts, attendees, and leading brands in an energetic, broadcast-style format designed to highlight some of KBIS’s biggest moments as they happen.
KBIS Podcast Studio
Also returning to the show floor is the KBIS Podcast Studio, sponsored by AjMadison. Back for its second year, the studio will once again feature Josh Cooperman, host of the Convo By Design podcast, who will record a full eight-part KBIS series over three days from a high-profile, eye-catching booth.
In addition to Convo By Design, the Podcast Studio will host a wide lineup of guest podcasters throughout the show, including Designing in 5D, Design Unscripted, Highly Affected by Her Surroundings, To-the-Trade Podcast, Design Biz Survival Guide, Damn Good Interior Designer, Build Together, From the Tap: A KBB Podcast, I Never Met a Woman Architect, and A Well-Designed Business. Topics will span luxury design, AI, personal branding, and the evolving business of design.
All podcast episodes will be available after the show on major streaming platforms, with links shared across KBIS channels. A full recording schedule will be posted on kbis.com ahead of the event.
As KBIS 2026 approaches, the addition of the Live Studio and the expanded Podcast Studio lineup underscore the show’s commitment to delivering immersive, shareable content—and keeping the industry conversation going long after the show floor closes.
