Looking to expand your line card with top industry brands?

Manufacturers are actively searching for manufactures representatives at NKBA’s Shark Bites networking event during KBIS 2027 in Las Vegas and the results speak for themselves:

"Within minutes, we met the first rep agency that was a perfect fit for an open market and ended up signing up 3 new rep agencies from that singular event. For us, it was very beneficial, and the format kept the interactions fun and engaging."
— Vik Szemerei, Sr. VP of Sales, Kingston

Don't miss the chance to connect directly with sales executives looking to fill open territories.

Manufacture representatives can add shark bites for free with their KBIS registration all month long! https://protect.checkpoint.com/v2/r01/___https://registration.experientevent.com/ShowKBI271?MarketingCode=NKBAOSRFFB&utm_campaign=KBI271_ATT_NKBAMembers&utm_source=partner&utm_medium=social&utm_content=NKBAOSRFFB___.YzJ1Om5rYmE6YzpvOjI3ZDRkY2Y0ZDZlMDUwMDc2MTAwMDE0MjI5MGJmZTJmOjc6MjhjYTpiN2Y0ZDU3ZjRmNzdkMWVlNWE5ZTc5YmU0Yjg5OTE4OGQ1ZGEyM2ViMTljOWFkNjQ4MTlkZDBhMzZjYjhlZDZjOmg6RjpO

Not being able to make it to Design Week in Milan didn’t stop the NKBA Columbia River Chapter—they brought the inspiration straight to Portland!

Hosted at the Z Collection luxury tile showroom, 57 local design professionals gathered for "One Week in Milan" to network, enjoy aperitivos, and dive into top global trends with 20-year Milan reporter Damon Johnstun. From 70s Scandinavian aesthetics to the sweeping popularity of Rosa Levanto red marble, the presentation sparked dynamic industry discussion.

This event was a great way to engage non-members and introduce them to the community, showing firsthand how our regional chapters deliver high-value programming, global design insights, and meaningful connection.

That was the theme for the NKBA's Maine Chapter's 3rd Annual Lobster Bake.

Duravit and NKBA recently gathered in Santa Monica for an Evening of Exclusive Design, celebrating the launch of Duravit’s new Collection One at the Ferguson Home showroom.

Duravit’s Global CEO, Michael Demmer, and CMO, Lüder Fromm joined the celebration, sharing how California’s culture serves as a major spark for global design trends. That spirit of iconic innovation shines through Collection One—crafted in collaboration with Studio F. A. Porsche and carrying the timeless design DNA of the classic Porsche 911.

The night was anchored by our panel, "The Future of Bathroom Design: Wellness, Innovation & the Evolving Luxury Customer," featuring designers Rhydhima Brar and Anita Yokota exploring what’s next for high-end residential spaces.
