The World’s Leading Home + Housewares Show
March 10–12, 2026 | McCormick Place | Chicago, IL
Today’s consumers are acutely aware of potential threats to the environment, the economy and society. And they’re ready and willing to use their purchasing power to support the brands and retailers they deem as responsible citizens of the world.
Consumers are living longer. Healthcare costs are rising. There’s growing appreciation for a holistic approach to wellness.
Today’s consumers are seeking memorable – and sharable – experiences. They’re putting unprecedented value in enhancing their knowledge, skill set, reputation and standing – essentially, their personal brands.
Add in a global pandemic to shrinking living spaces in which many are now sheltering at home…and space becomes a pretty hot commodity.
Housewares product developers and retailers heard some valuable insights today in a free IHA webinar on how to help consumers make the most of their time.
