Among everything new at the 75th edition National Hardware Show® (NHS), taking place at the Las Vegas Convention Center’s new West Hall from October 21-23, NHS is unveiling an enhanced rendition of NHS Backyard – an outdoor component where the hardware and home improvement industry will come alive through brand activations, live demonstrations, grilling competitions and exciting new content. At NHS Backyard, exhibitors can leverage the extensive NHS media network to reach beyond their B2B network and connect with consumer media and influencers, driving meaningful brand connections in a media landscape that has evolved since the last in-person Show in 2019.

“We recognize that NHS draws an industry-diverse audience, and we’re thrilled to enhance our NHS Backyard section to help brands tells their stories and set themselves apart from competitors,” said Beth Casson, Event Leader, National Hardware Show. “NHS Backyard is also a key opportunity for buyers and other attendees to interact with products, discover new ways to create in-store experiences and reconnect with industry colleagues in an experience-driven environment that fosters creativity and connection.”

Interactive product demonstrations, grilling competitions and promotional pitches will take place on the NHS Backyard mainstage and in outdoor satellite locations during Show hours. As the sun winds down, NHS Backyard will host must-attend networking events and performances sponsored by leaders of the hardware and home improvement industry. Then, attendees can unwind at the Backyard Beer Garden.
