Kbsa announces KBB Industry Conference 2023 theme

Kbb retail association, the Kbsa has announced the theme for its KBB Industry Conference 2023 as Ingenuity & Building Success.

The conference, which will be open to non-members as well as members, will feature a programme of speakers, including business coach Andy McLachlan who returns from 2022 event.

There will be two speakers in the morning and three presentations in the afternoon, which will lead into a panel discussion.

In addition, there will be extended lunch break to allow time for networking and for delegates to visit the business services exhibition, feature Kbsa suppliers, and advice surgery.

The advice surgery will cover topics such as finance, credit card processing, HR and legal.

Kbsa chair Richard Hibbert commented: “We are building on the success of last year with a programme designed to inspire and inform.

“Places will be available to nonmembers once again and whilst we return to the same hotel we have a new dedicated conference suite, which will enable us to increase the number of attendees, and enhance the experience for our guests.

“Andy is returning as his presentation last year was so engaging and thought provoking.

He is an advocate for positive change, and has a mission to help change business culture, that resonates with KBB retailers. This year he will focus on wellbeing in the workplace.”

The KBB Industry Conference 2023 will include the retailer dinner on the evening before the conference, September, 26 and the Designer Awards dinner will follow the conference on September 27.

Hosted by comedian, presenter, actor, author and scriptwriter Russell Kane, the Designer Awards will recognise and celebrate excellence in kitchen and bathroom design.

“We hope to attract even more retailers than last year for what will be a must attend event,” Richard Hibbert concluded.
