The Inspired Home Show wrapped up on 4 March after three days of trading, as the home and housewares marketplace showcased 2,000 unique brands and 300,000 products to attendees from 115 countries at Chicago’s McCormick Place during the 125th edition of the show.
“Senior leaders from both the supplier and buyer sides have told us how much they appreciated the number of strong top-to-top meetings they were able to have in just three days and all under one roof,” says Derek Miller, president and CEO of the International Housewares Association (IHA), which hosts the show.
“These connections, along with the platform to discover so many new and innovative products, will be critical to growth in the year ahead.
“Even as we celebrated the 125th edition of this premier event, IHA’s focus is on the future. We’re constantly working with exhibitors, buyers and retailers to evolve and shape a show that suits their changing needs and helps set them up for success.”

Starting next year, The Inspired Home Show will follow a new mid-week pattern and the 2026 event will take place in Chicago 10 to 12 March.
