After a few muted years, interior design trade shows are looking to come back in a big way in 2023. These industry events are an important way for both individuals and companies to discover the latest products, get insights into the latest industry development and — perhaps most importantly — network, partner and build professional relationships.
For interior designers: Trade shows are an important resource for growing their business by meeting new vendors, finding great new products and exchanging ideas and knowledge with their peers.
For vendors: It’s a key component in how to increase the visibility of their products across markets, make new connections with potential clients and network and receive the latest news and insights on the industry.
For architects and designers: Inspiration abounds in interior design trade shows, as they can explore upcoming products, trends and designs. It’s also an important opportunity to connect with potential clients and new vendors.
Interior design shows are perfect opportunities to learn about the latest trends, discover design ideas and sample new products, including design elements such as faux brick wall panels.
While there are many great interior design trade shows around the world, to better serve our immediate customers we’ll be highlighting the biggest shows in North America. Here’s an overview of the biggest 2023 trade fairs and shows for every sector of the design industry.
