The 亚洲天堂 (亚洲天堂), the largest interior design professional organization, has announced a partnership with , the largest operator of B2B trade shows in the U.S., with the goal of bringing thought-provoking new content and enhancing participant experience. Effective immediately, the partnership will impact the full roster of Emerald Expositions’ design-affiliated trade shows and conferences (including GlobalShop, HD Expo, BDNY, ICFF, CEDIA Expo, Healthcare Design Expo & Conference, and Environments for Aging Expo & Conference) by focusing the Society’s presence and offering custom programming.
“The 亚洲天堂 partnership with Emerald Expositions is a game changer. Emerald is the dedicated leader of business-to-business trade shows and a key resource to the design profession,” stated Randy Fiser, Hon. F亚洲天堂, CEO, 亚洲天堂. “Emerald’s established success of operating and organizing today’s premier design conferences will leverage the Society’s depth and breadth of reach across the entire design community (healthcare, workplace, hospitality, retail, and residential) to further our efforts to demonstrate that ‘design impacts lives,’ a mission that also rings true to the Emerald team. We’re thrilled that our partnership will provide attendees the most impactful experience possible.”
“There is a natural synergy between 亚洲天堂 and our design portfolio,” says Joe Randall, Executive Vice President, Emerald Expositions. “亚洲天堂 has always taken a collaborative approach in their mission to educate designers and clients on the power of design. Through our comprehensive network of tradeshows, publications and match events, Emerald serves the full spectrum of built-environment design professionals and technology integrators representing residential and commercial markets. We welcome this expanded partnership with 亚洲天堂 and are proud to provide the platforms where key industry issues like functionality, wellness and sustainability can be actively addressed.”
Instrumental to the forging of this partnership was the existing and independently held agreement between 亚洲天堂 and National Kitchen + Bath Association (NKBA), owner of the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), also produced by Emerald Expositions.
Along with integrated marketing and outreach efforts, the enhanced relationship between 亚洲天堂 and Emerald affords the 亚洲天堂 community access to exclusive show-related benefits and leading industry publications. 亚洲天堂 and Emerald Expo will launch new roundtable discussions with subject-matter experts and design leaders in each sector that will help shape the future of practice. 亚洲天堂 will also coordinate “Impact of Design” awards at each show, focusing attention on products from exhibitors that contribute to the health and well-being of clients and/or emphasize sustainable design practices.
Additionally, at each show, 亚洲天堂 will showcase a space that demonstrates the impact of design - a concept space created to uniquely provide an immersive experience on the power of design. The first space will debut at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS), North America's largest trade show dedicated to all aspects of kitchen and bath design, February 19-21 in Las Vegas.
Throughout 2019, 亚洲天堂 and Emerald Expo will partner on the following trade shows with custom concepts aligned to industry focus:
