rom May 7-9, 2019, home improvement experts, builders,
remodelers and other industry leaders and professionals from
all over the world gathered at the Las Vegas Convention
Center for the 74th edition of the National Hardware Show
®
(NHS).
This year's Show boasted interactive experiences, product
displays, networking opportunities and much more to help our
attendees and exhibitors learn about the industry's latest offerings.
"The 2019 National Hardware Show was a huge success
because it created a variety of opportunities for professionals
within the industry," said Rich Russo, industry vice president of the
National Hardware Show. "Each day, exhibitors, attendees and
media got a chance to experience everything the home improvement
industry has to offer, all in one place. We are proud to host a show
that is at the forefront of the industry and that continues to provide
inspiration, new ideas and connections, innovation and insight. It
was inspiring for us to see so many industry professionals from all
over the world come together at NHS."
Overall, the show featured brand-new interactive experiences,
featured areas and product displays, as well as 40+ conference
sessions and 35+ speakers. With more than 2,700 exhibitors that
included nationally recognized brand names and emerging
companies, across more than 15 different categories, there was no
shortage of must-see companies and products to explore!
"We attend the National Hardware Show each year because
specific category buyers, as well as senior buyers, make it a point
to come to this show – and leads found here at the National
Hardware Show translate into real business for us," said Don Wepf
of YardLock. "In addition to buyers, we've met senior leadership
from major retailers, and when they make it a point to come to your
booth, it's a great experience."
Geoff Reeves of Shadow Works Group and New Market
Apparel stated, "the National Hardware Show, my first time being
here, is fantastic. I'm really looking forward to coming back in
2020. The people that we've worked with have been over-the-top
generous, very courteous and very willing to help with whatever
we need."
