RETAILOBSERVER.COM APRIL 2022 24 "It gives Design & Construction Week attendees more products and services to experience during their three days at the show. It's also a great way for all three associations to better serve their respective members as we look to the future," Darcy commented. "Our customers benefit from more value and opportunity during their time in Las Vegas by aligning with two other industry leading events. NHS, IBS & KBIS events have complementary product offerings that will broaden buying and selling opportunities," said Beth Casson, National Hardware Show ® event vice president. "NHS is the destination for uncovering trends and sourcing new products and suppliers. By hosting the show earlier in the year, this gives buyers an opportunity to kick off the year with discovery and connection, while allowing more time for critical decisions before big buying events. We've heard that this timing and an NHS collaboration with these events would be a great benefit to our customers, so we are thrilled to make this happen for our NHS Community."
