Purple Exhibits, a full-service trade show exhibit company, has announced that Key Account Manager Joey Bartman will provide expert oversight across all its KBIS 2027 projects, ensuring that every detail is managed with precision. Bartman, who continues in his established role, will collaborate with dedicated teams for each client, adding a layer of industry knowledge and strategic guidance to the company's portfolio.
The announcement comes as KBIS 2027 prepares to take place February 2-4, 2027, in Las Vegas as part of Design & Construction Week. The event draws kitchen and bath manufacturers, designers, architects, and other decision-makers seeking new products and partnerships. For exhibitors, three days on the show floor can shape an entire year of sales and brand visibility, making early and thorough planning essential.
Purple Exhibits has a track record of delivering award-winning exhibits, including the Fabuwood project at KBIS 2026, which received the Best Large Booth award. This recognition highlights the company's ability to manage complex projects involving detailed cabinetry, immersive product presentations, and multiple lifestyle environments. Such achievements require accurate engineering, skilled fabrication, and seamless coordination across logistics and installation teams.
Bartman's oversight will include reviewing each brand's exhibit goals, advising on KBIS-specific rules, identifying technical challenges early, and confirming show readiness before shipping. He will also support account managers with complex client questions and help resolve unexpected on-site challenges. According to Itzy Holczler, Head of Sales at Purple Exhibits, "Joey understands the show, the kitchen and bath industry and the complicated details behind these projects. His oversight gives every team an experienced resource who can answer difficult questions, identify challenges early and help ensure that nothing important gets overlooked."
Kitchen and bath exhibits often involve technical requirements that must be addressed well in advance. Elements like working faucets, built-in appliances, heavy countertops, and illuminated displays can affect structural engineering, packing, shipping, and installation labor. These factors also contribute to costs beyond the booth itself, including freight, drayage, electrical service, and plumbing. Working with an experienced KBIS booth builder helps exhibitors identify these requirements early, establish realistic budgets, and avoid preventable last-minute complications.
Purple Exhibits offers a comprehensive range of turnkey services, from custom booth design and fabrication to logistics and on-site support. Clients work with a dedicated team, and now with Bartman's additional expertise, they benefit from a unified approach that ensures nothing is overlooked. As Bartman noted, "My responsibility is to help every Purple team deliver its strongest possible project. Each client will have dedicated professionals managing the complete exhibit. I will provide an additional set of experienced eyes, help answer the difficult questions and make sure our KBIS knowledge benefits every project."
With early planning strongly recommended for exhibitors requiring custom fabrication, working displays, or complex installations, Purple Exhibits is positioned to help brands stand out at KBIS 2027. The company's experience and comprehensive services aim to simplify the exhibiting process, allowing clients to focus on making lasting impressions on the show floor.
