The International Housewares Association, in a letter to the home and housewares industry from IHA President and CEO Derek Miller, announced changes to The Inspired Home Show 2024 that will see the show move to a three-day event with a new layout concentrated in two adjacent exhibit buildings at Chicago’s McCormick Place.
The Inspired Home Show 2024 is now scheduled for Sunday, March 17, through Tuesday, March 19.
The overall size of the show will not decrease but the floor plans will have a number of changes.
- The Wired + Well Expo will move from the Lakeside Center to the North Hall co-locating with the Clean + Contain Expo to create an incredibly active and dynamic destination at the Show.
- The North Hall will be divided into two halves with Wired + Well occupying the right-hand side and Clean + Contain continuing to occupy the left-hand side.
- The Discover Design Expo will be disbursed with current exhibitors being placed within their appropriate categories.
- The Travel Gear + Luggage category will move into the South Hall to give this new, exciting area room to grow and develop.
- The International Sourcing Expo will return to the Lower North Hall, a location previously occupied by that group of exhibitors in 2019. Exhibitors without branded products and U.S. distribution will be grouped in this area together to create product sourcing opportunities for the industry.
