This October, join retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers at the North American Hardware and Paint Association (NHPA) All-Industry Conference at the National Hardware Show® (NHS) as members from each segment of the channel discuss proactive measures to stay ahead and continue innovating. The NHPA All-Industry Conference is a series of educational seminars, networking opportunities and awards program that will be held in conjunction with NHS at the Las Vegas Convention Center’s new West Hall from Thursday, October 21 to Saturday, October 23.

“We couldn’t be prouder to host NHS in conjunction with NHPA, one of our closest partner organizations that’s been serving the industry for over 100 years,” said Beth Casson, Event Leader, National Hardware Show. “With our shared mission of helping the hardware and home improvement community through education and networking, NHPA’s conference lineup will put the industry’s brightest thought-leaders in front of NHS attendees and exhibitors who will all benefit from hearing their stories.”

"Much has changed in the last 18 months, but our relationship with NHS and shared commitment to serving the industry has never been stronger,” says Dan Tratensek, COO and Publisher of NHPA. “Co-locating the NHPA All-Industry Conference with NHS is a natural way of providing our members and community with the strongest opportunities to reconnect, learn what’s new and celebrate the future of hardware retailing in a new landscape for business."

This year’s NHPA All-Industry Conference will focus on connections and leadership to support independent retailers as they evolve with a variety of educational seminars presented by retailer, distributor and manufacturer representatives. Some key sessions and speakers that will take place during the conference include:
