NHPA Brings Exciting Programs to NHS 2025

Hardware and Paint Association (NHPA) has participated in the industry’s pinnacle hardware and home improvement event, the National Hardware Show (NHS).

And, once again, NHPA is excited to bring engaging educational and networking programming to the 2025 event, held in Las Vegas from March 18-20.

NHS connects the entire home improvement industry across more than 14 product categories, including tools, lawn and garden, plumbing, lighting, electric and more.

Take a look at the programs NHPA will bring to this year’s event below. Discover additional exciting opportunities NHS has for 2025 and register at nationalhardwareshow.com.

NHPA’s Foundations of Merchandising Management Live!
Designed to help both new and experienced retailers responsible for managing store merchandising functions, NHPA’s Foundations of Merchandising Management Live! trains retail team members in merchandising, advanced product sourcing and acquisition strategies. The event includes course sessions, breakout workshops, networking opportunities and ROI-driven assignments for participants to take back to their stores.

NHPA Helmets to Home Improvement
Through the new Helmets to Home Improvement program, NHPA will honor the contributions military veterans in the independent home improvement channel have made to our country and to the hardware industry. NHPA will host a kick-off event at NHS this year to promote the program.

NHPA Retailers’ Choice Awards
This well-known program is back, highlighting innovative, creative and potentially best-selling products on the NHS show floor. The Retailers’ Choice Awards Program, an attendee favorite, will be celebrating its 59th year at the 2025 show.

Independent Retail Center
NHPA and NHS are partnering to offer the Independent Retail Center (IRC), a space for independent retailers to meet to discuss relevant industry topics, meet new friends and enjoy a break between time on the NHS show floor.
