Hardware Retailing The Industry's Source for Insights and Information
The excitement on the Las Vegas strip can’t compare to the buzz inside the Las Vegas Convention Center, May 9-11. The North American Retail Hardware Association (NRHA) All-Industry Conference, which is held in conjunction with the National Hardware Show®, has come to town.
NRHA’s mission is to help independent home improvement retailers, regardless of wholesaler affiliation, become better and more profitable merchants. To achieve this, NRHA offers dozens of programs, services and resources focused on educating and training, advocating for the success of the independent channel and creating networking opportunities for retailers and other industry partners.
The NRHA All-Industry Conference is the one place each year where independent home improvement retailers can learn more about NRHA’s programs, services and resources all at once. At this year’s conference, NRHA is thrilled to present industry expert speakers and host networking events in the NRHA Village. Located in the main lobby of the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Village serves as the hub for all things NRHA at the conference and the National Hardware Show.
NRHA has organized the Village so it’s easy to pop in for a quick chat with another retailer, take a seat for an expert presentation or discover something new about your association.
