Hardware Retailing The Industry's Source for Insights and Information
In a boon for members of the design, construction and home improvement industries, three of the leading trade shows will take place at the same time in 2023, furthering the offering of what attendees can see next year. The National Hardware Show® (NHS), NAHB International Builders’ Show® (IBS) and NKBA’s Kitchen & Bath Industry Show® (KBIS) at Design & Construction Week® will be held in Las Vegas Jan. 31 to Feb. 2, 2023.
The NAHB IBS is the world’s largest annual residential construction show and is a key event for professionals in the building industry. NAHB represents 140,000+ members and is the voice for policies that make housing a priority.
“We are absolutely thrilled that NHS will be in Las Vegas during the same time that Design & Construction Week takes place,” says Jerry Howard, CEO of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). “NHS creates synergy with the International Builders’ Show and NKBA’s Kitchen and Bath Show. Co-locating NHS with IBS and KBIS will allow attendees to explore additional products and opportunities to grow their businesses and maintain a competitive edge in the market.”
NKBA is the not-for-profit trade association that owns KBIS, as part of Design & Construction Week. KBIS, in conjunction with NKBA, showcases the latest industry products, trends and technologies. KBIS has been the voice of the kitchen and bath industry for over 50 years.
“We think having NHS co-locate with us in Las Vegas next year is a great opportunity to expand Design & Construction Week,” says Bill Darcy, chief executive officer for NKBA. “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 organizations to better serve their respective members as we look to the future.”
“Our customers benefit from more value and opportunity during their time in Las Vegas by aligning with two other industry-leading events. NHS, IBS and KBIS events have complementary product offerings that will broaden buying and selling opportunities,” says Beth Casson, NHS event vice president. “NHS is the destination for uncovering trends and sourcing new products and suppliers. By hosting the show earlier in the year, it 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.”
For more than 76 years, NHS has served the home improvement marketplace with a comprehensive event, education and networking platform and stays focused on the cultural, environmental and technological developments shaping the future of modern living. NHS unites and guides the industry by fostering connections, deepening insights and building innovative and profitable strategies for growth.
