The International Housewares Association (IHA) has partnered with MarketBlast, an open innovation platform, to connect the inventor community with housewares buyers, licensees and media from around the world.
First launched in 2006, The Inspired Home Show’s Inventors Corner has become a destination for retailers, suppliers and manufacturers seeking new products and ideas. For inventors, this high-visibility showcase offers a cost-effective, turnkey way to launch products, receive expert feedback and connect directly with decision makers who can bring innovations to market, said IHA.
This year, IHA is partnering with MarketBlast to connect inventors and the housewares industry at the show.
IHA reported inventors who exhibit receive several benefits:
- Exposure to thousands of buyers, licensees and product scouts on the hunt for what’s new in home and housewares.
- Face-to-face networking with manufacturers, retailers and industry partners.
- Media exposure spanning industry press, consumer outlets, bloggers and influencers.
- Pre-show preparation and expert resources to maximize results.
- A turnkey exhibitor package, including a kiosk and necessary equipment.
Applications are now open for inventors and innovators to exhibit at The Inspired Home Show 2026 at https://marketblast.com/splash/the-inspired-home-show/.
