Description: Warning: Before delving into my individual takeaways from this year’s KBIS, I encourage you to list your unique, uninfluenced observations. This will provide a starting point from which we can explore and compare our perspectives on the show and similar gatherings.
After deciphering all my notes and situationally recalling over 200 images, I settled in front of my computer to write my reflections on KBIS 2024. Pausing for a moment, I came to the realization that amidst the elaborate staging, vivid colors, and glossy products, it was the impromptu conversations with fellow attendees that left the most lasting impression.
