Hardware Retailing The Industry's Source for Insights and Information
Registration is now open for the networking event of the year, an event that unites the home improvement industry—the 2025 National Hardware Show (NHS). Springing into action March 18-20, 2025, at the Las Vegas Convention Center West Hall, the premier event for hardware, home improvement, outdoor living and more is excited to host a star-studded lineup of industry-leading events complete with new, engaging programming along with attendee favorites.
The North American Hardware and Paint Association (NHPA) will again be partnering with NHS to bring exciting programming to attendees, and several other organizations have also stepped up to bring new experiences to NHS.
“There is so much to be excited about in 2025,” says Joelle Cohn, VIP attendee manager for NHS. “We are working with NHPA to release the Merchandising for Profit study at NHS this year. Plus, this year we are doing a conference on the show floor, allowing attendees and exhibitors to participate in sessions that are most relevant to their needs. On Day 1, we are extremely excited to launch the first ever women’s conference, How Women Rise in Hardware.”
The How Women Rise in Hardware event, in partnership with Build Women, will be an inspiring event dedicated to empowering and celebrating women leaders in the hardware industry. The event will include keynotes by industry trailblazers Stefanie Couch and Gina Schaefer, followed by a dynamic panel discussion where esteemed women leaders will share insights on breaking barriers and thriving in a traditionally male-led field. This event will also honor women in retail, manufacturing, marketing and more who have made exceptional achievements through an exclusive awards program.
During the new NHS Influencer Summit, attendees will hear from the voices that shape the home improvement space online to help beginning influencers bloom and existing influencers blossom. Sponsored by NHS and the Kansas City Barbecue Society (KCBS), Weber Immersive Grilling Classes will provide a hands-on grilling experience led by Weber pitmasters that showcases new techniques and secret tips on elevating the grilling experience for both beginner and advanced grill enthusiasts.
“Celebrating 80 years of connecting and inspiring the hardware and home improvement industries, we’re thrilled to bring the National Hardware Show back to Las Vegas with an unforgettable lineup of new events, programs and experiences,” says Hector Morfin, event leader for the National Hardware Show.
