Consumers are looking to cope by creating stability and balance in their lives and creatively expressing their deeply held values and styles, said Anna Ward, consultancy innovation lead at TrendBible in a keynote session today at The Inspired Home Show 2024.
The Inspired Home Show and IHA announced the 2024 gia Global Honorees for Retail Excellence.
Fourteen housewares suppliers ranging from well-established brands to first-time exhibitors were honored as Global Honorees of the IHA Global Innovation Awards (gia) for Excellence in Product Design today.
The direction of the tableware industry in 2024, an update on PFAS regulations in housewares, how The Lacey Act affects the housewares supply chain and why retailer replenishment systems don’t work are strategic business topics that will be discussed in the Inspiration Theater.
Storytelling through branding, reinventing the retail experience and telling a company’s story in a changing media landscape are presentations that will focus on branding in the Inspiration Theater at the Show.
Rick Bayless, JJ Johnson, Gemma Stafford and Ashton Keefe will headline the lineup of chefs appearing in the Cooking Theater.
