Georgia On Everyone’s Minds

Friday, May 1st, 2009

For months there’s been speculation that this year’s K/BIS was going to pale in comparison with shows in years passed.  Rumors dispelled!  It may not be the heyday of a few years ago, but the showfloors are populated, booths are crowded and reps are wheelin’ and dealin’.

Former Governor Mike Huckabee spoke to that very point at the opening keynote address this morning when he said, “No recession lasts forever,” and current NKBA president Suzie Williford agreed, thanking those in attendance (a near-capacity crowd in the GWCC’s auditorium) for having “the courage to invest in the industry and in your business’ future.”

K/BIS! K/BIS! K/BIS!

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

I’ve been driving people here at KBDN HQ batty with my weekly reminders of how many days there are until K/BIS.  Well, now that there’s only two left, let me shout it from the roof tops: TWO DAYS UNTIL K/BIS!

I’ll be there, in the thick of it, bringing you the latest and greatest (and greenest) from the show floor, getting the scoop on companies big and small.  If you’re going to be there, I hope to see you–I’ll probably chew your ear off about whatever recycled countertop or low-VOC paint I’ve just seen, so be ready.  If you’re not headed to Atlanta, stay tuned to this page!

And should you find yourself thirsty for even more content, sign up here for our pre-show, at-show and post-show eNewsletters for the skinny on new product offerings and the best of what K/BIS has to offer. Stay green, America, and see you in Atlanta!
