NKBA State of the Industry, Presented by Jaye Anna Mize
Immediately following the NKBA State of the Association, the spotlight turns to one of KBIS’s premier keynote sessions: the State of the Industry (SOI), presented by trend forecaster and cultural strategist Jaye Anna Mize, Vice President of Advisory + Partnerships at Future Snoops.
In this visually rich and insight-driven keynote, Jaye Anna Mize bridges big-picture cultural shifts with on-the-ground design evolution shaping the future of kitchen, bath, and whole-home spaces. Her presentation translates emerging behaviors, economic realities, generational change, and technology into the colors, materials, layouts, and experiences designers and brands will be working with in the year ahead.
