Features2017 NATIONAL HARDWARE SHOW A GREAT SUCCESS IN LAS VEGAS
"We’re thrilled to report this year’s show was very successful,” says Rich Russo, vice president of the National Hardware Show. “We’re so proud to see attendees and exhibitors from all over the world come together at the National Hardware Show. We think the new relationships formed, the knowledge gained, and the products discovered will all have a positive impact on the industry for years to come.”
Attendees and exhibitors alike were excited to be at the show, and this was evident in the positive attitude found across the show floor and throughout the convention center. “I came last year, so I knew what to expect, but still, it’s a really big and exciting show,” says April Rembert of Jared’s Ace Hardware in Bishopville, South Carolina. “I like going to Inventors Spotlight and outside to Tailgate, Backyard & BBQ. Overall, it’s just a fun time. I also enjoy spending time at the NRHA All-Industry Conference to learn from all of the great speakers they bring in for this event.” Read Full Feature Story AT THE HELM OF THE RETAIL OBSERVER: 2007-2017
