IKEA Joins Line-up for HBAGC's Midwest Home Expo™

(ADDISON, IL) – Swedish mega store and home goods retailer, IKEA, joins the impressive line-up of exhibitors at the upcoming Midwest Home Expo™ April 29 – May 1 at the Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont. The Expo is open to the public. It is produced by the Home Builders Association of Greater Chicago (HBAGC) in conjunction with the Chicago Tribune and presented by the General Motors Corporation (GMC).

IKEA joins exhibitors such as Abt Electronics and Appliances, Cambria, KDA – Kitchen Distributors of America, Marvin Windows and Doors, and hundreds more at this one-stop shopping marketplace for new homes, the communities in which they are built, and the products and services that go into them. Attendees can see and touch the latest in kitchen and bath appliances, learn about the newest communities where homes are being constructed, meet with dozens of home building and remodeling companies, and even shop around for mortgage companies onsite.

Special "Ask the Experts" sessions at the show will give attendees the chance to talk one-on-one with builders, remodelers, and interior designers to get ideas for their own homes or brainstorm solutions for their own home projects. Experts on hand also will present workshops and seminars on techniques to spruce up the home. Some of the experts are Nadia Geller and Jason Cameron from TLC's "While You Were Out;" the widely popular "Mr. Fix It" Lou Manfredini, host of the WGN radio program; Cynthia Ivie of White Space, a company specializing in personal organizing services; and Kiki Luthringshausen of interior design studio K-Haus.

A distinctive feature of the show will be the Home Builders Dream House. Constructed onsite for the Expo, the Dream House will feature all the newest gadgetry and technology being built into new homes today. From concert-quality home theater systems, to stylish spa baths, to the most up-to-date in plumbing and electrical work, the Dream House will incorporate the latest products and technology to give attendees a sense of what can be accomplished in their own homes or in a new home.
