NHS CONCEPT TO COMMERCE

NHS Concept to Commerce 2026 in Las Vegas is being repositioned as a future-focused marketplace for the global hardware and home improvement industry. It is not just a traditional trade show but a redesigned platform to speed product development, sourcing, and time-to-shelf.

NHS Concept to Commerce 2026

From 2026, the show is being rebranded as “NHS Concept to Commerce,” reflecting a shift from general networking to measurable, buying-focused outcomes. This new identity emphasizes connecting ideas, prototypes, and factory capabilities directly with buyers and brands to accelerate commercialization and improve margins.

NHS 2026 is positioned as a leading trade fair for hardware, home improvement, tools, plumbing, and garden-related categories, bringing together the broader housing aftermarket. The core audience includes retail buyers, distributors, wholesalers, manufacturers, private label teams, inventors, product developers, and merchandising managers who want early access to innovation and direct links to global factories.
