What’s On Tap at the NRHA All-Industry Conference
This year, the NRHA All-Industry Conference focuses on industry disrupters, people who are pushing the boundaries of the home improvement industry and finding new paths to success.
“The theme is Industry Disrupters, which we thought was appropriate before the pandemic disrupted literally every aspect of our lives. Now it’s even more relevant,” says NHPA (formerly NRHA) executive vice president Dan Tratensek.
The event will feature four days of engaging, informative presentations to help every member of the home improvement industry excel, including two keynote speeches from Do it Best president and CEO Dan Starr and Kevin Hancock, president and CEO of Hancock Lumber.
