Why Kitchen and Bath Exhibitors Must Address Technical Requirements Before KBIS Design Finalizes
Fishkill, United States - August 5, 2026 / Purple Exhibits /
LAS VEGAS - August 3, 2026 - Purple Exhibits, a full-service KBIS exhibit booth builder and Las Vegas trade show exhibit company, has announced that Key Account Manager Joey Bartman will provide expert oversight across every Purple-managed project for KBIS 2027.
Bartman continues in his established role as one of Purple Exhibits' Key Account Managers, extending his involvement across the company's complete portfolio of KBIS projects. He will work alongside the account managers, project managers, designers, engineers, fabricators, logistics coordinators and installation professionals assigned to each individual exhibit.
Each KBIS client will continue working with a complete team dedicated to its specific project. Bartman's involvement introduces an additional layer of kitchen and bath industry knowledge, strategic guidance and quality control across those teams.
"KBIS exhibitors are presenting highly detailed products in one of the most visually competitive environments in the trade show industry," said Itzy Holczler, Head of Sales at Purple Exhibits. "Joey understands the show, the kitchen and bath industry and the complicated details behind these projects. His oversight gives every team an experienced resource who can answer difficult questions, identify challenges early and help ensure that nothing important gets overlooked."
Award-Winning KBIS Exhibit Booth Experience
Purple Exhibits has extensive experience creating custom KBIS exhibits for cabinetry, appliance, plumbing, surface, hardware and home-product brands.
At KBIS 2026, Purple Exhibits managed fabrication, production, shipping, logistics, installation and on-site execution for Fabuwood's large-scale immersive exhibit.
That completed exhibit received official recognition as the Best Large Booth at KBIS 2026, acknowledging its creativity, craftsmanship, visual impact and visitor experience.
The Fabuwood exhibit featured detailed cabinetry installations, immersive product presentations and multiple lifestyle environments. Each space delivered a distinct atmosphere and personality while contributing to a single, connected brand story.

Producing a custom KBIS exhibit booth at that scale requires far more than a strong design. It demands accurate engineering, skilled fabrication, careful product coordination, organized packing, reliable freight, professional installation and continuous communication across multiple teams.
Purple Exhibits applies that experience to every KBIS project - from flexible rental booths to major custom island exhibits.
At KBIS, visual impact is expected. Standing apart from the competition is the real challenge.
That is where Purple Exhibits comes in.
Expert Oversight Backed by a Complete Purple Team
KBIS 2027 will take place February 2-4, 2027, in Las Vegas as part of Design & Construction Week.
The event brings together kitchen and bath manufacturers, designers, architects, builders, dealers, retailers and other decision-makers seeking new products, technologies and business partnerships.
For exhibitors, three days on the KBIS show floor can shape an entire year of sales, relationships and brand growth. Those opportunities, however, begin months before the show opens.
Each Purple Exhibits client will have a dedicated team managing the daily details of its project. Bartman will work alongside those teams as a go-to KBIS resource, providing guidance across Purple's complete KBIS exhibit program.
His oversight will include:
- Reviewing each brand's exhibit goals and overall strategy
- Advising teams on KBIS-specific rules and requirements
- Identifying technical and logistical challenges early
- Reviewing floor plans and visitor-flow strategies
- Evaluating product displays and demonstration areas
- Guiding decisions involving working displays and utilities
- Supporting account managers with complex client questions
- Monitoring critical schedules and show deadlines
- Reviewing important design and production milestones
- Coordinating solutions across Purple's internal departments
- Confirming show readiness before shipping
- Providing additional guidance during installation
- Helping teams resolve unexpected on-site challenges
"My responsibility is to help every Purple team deliver its strongest possible project," Bartman said. "Each client will have dedicated professionals managing the complete exhibit. I will provide an additional set of experienced eyes, help answer the difficult questions and make sure our KBIS knowledge benefits every project."
Why KBIS Exhibit Booths Require Specialized Experience
Kitchen and bath exhibits often carry technical requirements that must be addressed far earlier than many exhibitors anticipate.
A cabinet wall, working faucet, built-in appliance, heavy countertop, stone surface, illuminated product display or hanging sign is not simply a design element. Each can affect structural engineering, booth weight, packing, shipping, material handling, electrical service, plumbing and installation labor.
These requirements should be addressed during the initial KBIS booth design process - not after the exhibit arrives in Las Vegas.
Exhibitors must also account for expenses beyond the physical booth. Freight, drayage, electrical service, plumbing, rigging, internet, cleaning, labor, on-site supervision and return shipping can significantly affect the total investment.
Working with an experienced KBIS booth builder helps exhibitors identify these requirements early, develop a realistic project budget and avoid preventable last-minute complications.
Purple Exhibits combines show-specific knowledge with complete turnkey management, giving clients one experienced partner from the first concept through the final day of dismantle.

KBIS Exhibit Booths Designed to Attract, Engage and Perform
A successful KBIS booth must do more than appear impressive.
It must capture attention within seconds, communicate the brand clearly and give attendees a reason to enter. It must showcase products effectively, support demonstrations, prevent congestion and create comfortable spaces for meaningful conversations.
Purple Exhibits combines creative booth design with practical show-floor strategy to help brands:
- Attract attention from multiple aisles
- Present products more effectively
- Encourage attendees to enter and explore
- Support demonstrations and product education
- Create stronger sales conversations
- Generate qualified leads
- Increase brand recognition
- Remain memorable after the show
This combination of creative design, kitchen and bath industry knowledge, expert oversight and complete execution has positioned Purple Exhibits as a recognized KBIS exhibit builder for brands focused on standing out on the show floor.
