The International Housewares Association announced a new program whereby exhibitors in The Inspired Home Show can apply for space in the following year’s show months earlier than in the past.
The space application process for The Inspired Home Show 2025 — March 2-4 at Chicago’s McCormick Place — has been moved up from its normal mid-May 2024 timeframe to allow exhibitors to submit applications beginning Tuesday, March 5, 2024. As an added incentive, IHA member companies that submit their space applications by March 26, 2024, and pay in full by July 8, 2024, will receive a $1 discount on the space rate, effectively keeping it at the 2024 IHA member rate, according to IHA.
Companies that submit their 2025 space applications after March 26, 2024, but by the July 8, 2024, deadline and pay in full by the deadline will receive the early-bird $.50 discount off the 2025 space rates. Applications for the 2025 show paid for after July 8, 2024, will pay the non-discounted, regular 2025 space rates.
“The IHA board of directors and staff have been working on ways to improve efficiencies throughout the application and space assignment process,” said Derek Miller, IHA president & CEO. “Giving exhibitors the option to apply earlier will allow the IHA Show and Operations teams additional time later in the year to better serve our exhibitor members,”
A space application page for The Inspired Home Show 2025 is available on the show website with further information on the space application packages as well as a link to frequently asked questions. Exhibitors can also contact their Show sales manager with questions.
