Designed to Gather | PEARL® at KBIS

Some things can only happen in person.

This year, PEARL^® will be attending KBIS, with our President Heather Laratta, who also serves as Membership Chair for the NKBA Prairies Chapter, and our CEO Woody Chiang walking the show. Their presence reflects a belief we hold closely: that meaningful progress in our industry begins with connection.

As Membership Chair, Heather’s work focuses on bringing people together and strengthening relationships across the kitchen and bath community. KBIS provides space for conversation, listening, and shared perspective. Moments that help shape how the industry moves forward.

For Woody, KBIS is an opportunity to stay current with emerging trends, explore new products, and identify procurement opportunities, while staying close to the people shaping the market. Walking the show offers firsthand insight into where design, materials, and innovation are headed, and how those shifts can inform what comes next for PEARL^®.

The value of KBIS extends beyond the show floor. The ideas and conversations gathered help guide how we think about product development, partnerships, and supporting our dealer and design communities.

This moment aligns with the evolution of PEARL’s corporate identity. One grounded in clarity, intention, and long-term relationships. Attending KBIS is simply part of that approach. Showing up, staying curious, and carrying what we learn forward.

In the weeks ahead, we’ll be sharing Heather and Woody’s takeaways, including the trends, insights, and ideas that stood out most. Stay connected with us by following our Instagram account @pearlsinks.community.
