Independents Celebration Raises a Glass to the Channel

Not only will the 2025 Independent Home Improvement Conference bring the channel together to learn from industry experts, celebrate channel leaders and explore solutions for operational obstacles, it will also be an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes and have fun under the Florida sun.

As part of the event’s social scene, all attendees are invited to the Independents Celebration on Wednesday, July 30, from 8 to 10 p.m. Sip on a signature cocktail, dine on delicious food and party with old friends while making new connections. Attendees can play the night away with fun games like darts, shuffleboard, pool tables, board games and more and hit the dance floor.

“The spirit of the conference is to provide independent retailers with a great opportunity to learn from industry experts and each other and engage with other channel partners who are focused on helping the independent segment of the channel thrive,” says Bob Cutter, CEO of the North American Hardware and Paint Association (NHPA), which produces the event together with The Hardware Conference. “The Independents Celebration will be a culmination of that camaraderie in the channel and bring together the industry for fun and relaxation.”

There is still time to register and join the independent channel in Orlando. See the 10 reasons why the Independent Home Improvement Conference is a must-attend.
