International Home + Housewares Show a Smashing Success

More than 2,000 exhibitors and 60,000 attendees packed the McCormick Place in Chicago March 15-18 for the International Home + Housewares Show. Numerous seminars were held throughout the four-day event covering topics ranging from trends, social media integration, color, and new data on consumers purchases.

Walking the aisles, one could spot numerous new and trendy products, as well as updated staples. No matter which building buyers were visiting, they smelled the faint whiff of food in the background (and maybe even indulged in a few samples) thanks to the numerous cooking demonstrations.
