National Hardware Trade Show Transforms Into “NHS Concept to Commerce” in 2026
The National Hardware Show will debut in 2026 as “NHS Concept to Commerce”–a reimagined industry-first event dedicated exclusively to the product development pipeline, from early-stage production and emerging brands to retailers and investors scouting the next viral product. The event, organized by RX Global Tradeshow, is “built to streamline every stage of the go-to market process,” according to a statement by RX.
RX said a huge driver is growth in private brands with a focus on easier procurement and sourcing. “Concept to Commerce creates a direct path for entrepreneurs to accelerate market readiness, secure partnerships, and reach store shelves faster.”
The newly redesigned event will take place March 31–April 2, 2026, at the Las Vegas Convention Center West Hall, preceded by an International Exhibitor Summit on March 30.
Who Should Attend
- Retail buyers seeking exclusive, early-stage access to new products and innovation
- Private label teams looking to connect directly with qualified manufacturers and develop unique assortments
- Distributors and wholesalers exploring fresh inventory and differentiated offerings
- Inventors and entrepreneurs bringing new ideas to retail-ready reality
- Product development and merchandising managers focused on agility, differentiation, and profitability
What Makes This Show Different
According to RX, the NHS Concept to Commerce is “not just a rebrand—it’s a strategic shift designed to meet the urgent needs of today’s retail decision-makers and supply chain leaders. This event is built for outcomes, not just inspiration. Whether you’re looking to discover what’s next, build private label lines, or launch new products, this show delivers clear pathways to do it—faster, smarter, and more competitively.”
“We’ve redesigned the show to reflect our customers’ needs today, who have more pressure and less time to bring new products to market in order to stay competitive,” said Hector Morfin Chong, Event Director. “This event is about helping attendees move smarter and faster—so they leave with connections, products, and partners that actually drive business.”
