SHOW DIRECTOR’S NOTE
Reflections on KBIS
Jim Scott has more than 35 years
of diverse experience as a senior
executive and leader, retiring as
president of the Plumbing Products
Division at Elkay. With a focus on
positive change and growth, Scott
has helped develop organizations
in North and South America, as
well as in Asia.
Always active, Scott and his
wife Ann enjoy a large family with
eight energetic grandchildren. He
is an avid golfer, skier, chef, reader
and photographer. With a lifelong
interest in motorcycles, Scott has
traveled from Chicago throughout
the U.S. and Canada.
By now, you know that my role as managing director of KBIS has
come to an end. Reflecting, I was reminded of a long motorcycle
trip from Chicago and a lunch stop at a great little place in southern Ohio. While standing outside, a guy walked up and looked at
our Illinois plates. You could see the sparkle of envy in his eyes.
What were we doing, where were we going? We said we were
out for a couple weeks. Not sure where were going. Just taking it
day by day. I’d love to do that, he said suddenly. Just take off and
find the next adventure.
That’s what we all work and live for, right? To be able to do the
things we really love. Do the things that make a difference. To that
end, I am truly fortunate.
In 2011, I responded to a call from a recruiter with a letter that
included the following paragraph.
“KBIS is the premier show in the industry in the areas of innovation, design and just plain excitement. The industry has changed,
and we now have the responsibility to take KBIS to a new and even
stronger position in the industry. There is a tremendous opportunity
to see the future of KBIS and seek out the best of “what is” to help
ignite the imagination of “what might be.”
Two years later, KBIS and IBS have come together for Design
and Construction Week. Manufacturers are actively supporting the
event with contracted booth space almost 20 percent ahead of
final 2013. KBIS is fully engaged with the industry through an active presence on all major social media platforms. KBIS365 is the
foundation for a year-round brand, offering valuable business and
design thinking for dealers, designers and the manufacturers who
engage this innovative channel.
Yet, this is only the beginning of the innovation and excitement
that will be part KBIS in the coming years. Imagine where this journey might take us.
• An explosion of new products, many incorporating technology
to help us manage our very active lives, save energy and communicate with others
• Interactive technology that brings the best of ecommerce to
the in-person showroom experience
• The continued evolution of social media as a powerful force for
change across the world
• Fresh thinking from the under 30 crowd that will bring new clarity to future opportunities in a changing market
Many old and new friends have made my role in KBIS more
exciting and rewarding than even I could have imagined when I
wrote that letter. So exciting that I just have to continue this great
adventure and hope to see you at the next stop. n
