The National Hardware Show (NHS) is the premier annual trade event in the United States for hardware, home improvement, maintenance, and tools. It brings together manufacturers, distributors, retailers, inventors, and product development teams from across the industry to showcase, source, and connect. The show is designed to bridge the gap between product concepts and market realities—from ideation to scaling and commercialization.
In 2026, NHS will be held under the theme “NHS: Concept to Commerce”, scheduled from March 30 to April 2 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Nevada. Exhibit days run March 31 through April 2, with March 30 dedicated to an International Exhibitor Summit. Attendees will navigate pavilions segmented by themes—Brand Pavilion, Global Manufacturing & Private Label Pavilion, Inventor Showcase, and more.
The exhibition covers a wide range of product categories: tools, hardware components, building and renovation materials, lighting, outdoor equipment, storage solutions, home décor accessories, and smart home components. NHS also emphasizes private-label and inventor-driven offerings, fostering matches between creative innovation and market-ready brands. Educational sessions, trend briefings, and business workshops run parallel to the exhibition, helping participants stay informed about industry direction, sourcing strategies, and commercialization paths.
Attendees include large-box retail chains, specialty hardware and home improvement dealers, independent renovation/contractor outlets, distributors, design and R&D teams, and brands looking to enter or expand in the home & decor accessory space. For enterprises seeking to broaden product lines, enhance innovation, or expand supply networks, NHS provides a premier space to make connections and showcase capabilities.
Looking forward, as demand for smart home systems, multifunctional fixtures, sustainable materials, and integrated home-renovation solutions continues to rise, NHS is poised to evolve into a hybrid platform blending hardware, home accessory, and renovation categories. For brands and manufacturers already strong in hardware but aiming to break into the home/decoration or maintenance market, 2026 NHS presents compelling opportunities. Whether you’re launching a new invention, seeking private-label partnerships, or opening access to U.S. home improvement channels, NHS is a vital springboard.
