“The strong commitment from exhibitors demonstrates the resilience of our industry and the value of gathering in person,” said IHA President & CEO Derek Miller. “The Inspired Home Show is a critical platform for discovering innovation, building partnerships and advancing home and housewares companies.”
The Inspired Home Show 2026 will include five expos: Clean + Contain, Dine + Décor, International Sourcing, Travel Gear + Luggage, and Wired + Well. It will also feature attractions including the Debut incubator, Global Design Points pavilions, the Pantone ColorWatch display, robust education lineups on the Keynote and Inspiration Theater stages, and networking opportunities throughout the Show’s three days, IHA reported.
New to the Show in 2026 will be the SPLiCE Licensing Hub — a destination produced in partnership with the Society of Product Licensors Committed to Excellence — that will connect retailers and product suppliers with brands interested in licensing deals. In addition, the Pet Products Pavilion and the Candle Pavilion, which made their debuts at the 2025 show, will return, IHA noted.
At the IHA fall Board of Directors meeting, association leadership expressed the importance of coming to market and standing together to support the industry at a time when maintaining visibility and fostering relationships is more critical than ever, Miller said.
“Especially at times like these, showing up matters,” said IHA Board Chairman and Lodge Cast Iron President & CEO Mike Otterman. “The Inspired Home Show 2026 will not only allow exhibitors to show retailers their resilience, but it will also be a critical venue for showing them, firsthand, new and viable products and winning sales in a highly competitive market.”
Through careful management, IHA has rebuilt its reserve funds to surpass pre-pandemic levels, allowing the organization to adjust and help members dealing with uncertainty caused by tariffs, IHA’s Miller said. This strong financial position, he added, enables IHA to create initiatives that serve the industry, such as its Tariff Relief Program, which provides a $4/square foot discount on space rates and flexible payment plans for members.

Beginning in 2026, The Inspired Home Show will adopt a new Tuesday-Thursday schedule. Following extensive feedback, IHA determined that the shift to midweek best aligns the show with the industry’s evolving needs and expectations.
Registration for both exhibitors and attendees is currently open. For more information, visit TheInspiredHomeShow.com.
