At the 2018 NRHA State of Independents Conference, two panels featuring retail leaders will shine light on the ways independents across the country can find new success for their operations. The first panel discussion will present real-world insights into current economic conditions and what other channel partners can do to earn retailers’ business.

The second panel will delve into the top five categories independent home improvement retailers are identifying as most promising for growth in 2019. Presenters will reveal new NRHA research showing the specific categories and product areas retailers will be targeting for expansion.

The conference will also include exclusive presentations from two inspiring home improvement retailers about how their operations are welcoming growth opportunities.
