The KBSA’s annual KBB Industry Conference will take place in May next year, with broadcaster Emma Crosby returning as host.
The Kitchen Bathroom Bedroom Specialists Association (KBSA) has confirmed that its next KBB Industry Conference will take place on Thursday 13 May 2027.
The event will return to The Belfry Hotel & Resort in Sutton Coldfield, but will move from its traditional autumn slot to a spring date.
Broadcaster and journalist Emma Crosby will return as host, having performed the same role at the previous conference.
Crosby also conducted an on-stage interview with architect and TV presenter George Clarke at last year’s event and facilitated the 2025 Big Debate, which focused on issues including charging for design, workplace culture and showroom investment.
Luke Wedgbury, KBSA interim chair, said: “Emma conducted a really insightful interview with George Clarke, as well as bringing real energy and sharp questioning to the Big Debate last year.
“So, having her back behind the mic for 2027 is brilliant news for both our members and exhibitors. Moving to spring is a big change for the KBSA, and locking in the date and venue this early gives members plenty of time to plan around it and make sure they attend this not-to-be-missed event.”
The KBSA said further details of the 2027 programme, including speakers and booking information, will be announced in due course.
The conference will take place on 13 May 2027 at The Belfry Hotel & Resort.
