IDS National Executive Director, Jenny Cano shares, “IDS is thrilled to bring the VIP Designer Experience to Las Vegas. Being able to experience both Las Vegas Market and KBIS will provide our members with unlimited resources and relationships that help propel their businesses forward.”

IDS’s 2023 edition of their VIP Designer Experience is created in partnership with International Market Centers Las Vegas Market and National Kitchen & Bath Association’s (NKBA) Kitchen & Bath Industry Show with the goal to bring designers who are unfamiliar with each event, a curated VIP experience. 

“We are so pleased IDS has decided to attend KBIS again this year,” said Suzie Williford, EVP, and Chief Strategy Officer, NKBA.  “We enjoyed the opportunity to connect our members in 2022 and know the experience will be even better in 2023.” 

“KBIS 2023 is slated to be one of our strongest events ever with a filled show floor, 80+ learning opportunity programs, and a number of really fun networking events on and off the show floor. We’re looking forward to being part of this energetic IDS program.”  

IDS’s itinerary will feature programming at Las Vegas Market on Sunday and Monday, Jan. 29-30 held at World Market Center Las Vegas, and two guided tours to see kitchen & bath exhibitors at KBIS on Tuesday and Wednesday, Jan. 31-Feb. 1 held at the Las Vegas Convention Center. 

IDS National’s VIP Designer Experience is developed and produced by Serena Martin, 24/7 Creative Agency, Wendy Glaister, Wendy Glaister Interiors, and the IDS National team to help their members experience two of the industry's largest events. 

Event producer, Serena Martin, 24/7 Creative Agency commented, “We are thrilled to be partnering with IMC and NKBA organizations and to help create synergy for these two events that are co-located in Las Vegas in 2023.”

“While designing this year’s VIP Designer Experience with Wendy Glaister and IDS, we developed a program that delivers a first-class introduction to two incredible shows, by providing original programming and guided tours, for a completely curated VIP Designer Experience.”

Created to uplift and support the interior design community and to provide first-time attendees with the confidence on how to navigate each show like a pro. The connection with fellow designers and personalized introductions to each brand will also offer attendees who are diving into the design industry the opportunity to learn from interior design professionals about how they maintain their successful careers.
