Experience the reimagined National Hardware Show! Reconnect with colleagues and peers from all over the world at the one event that unites the industry. Home centers, independent retailers, online retailers, wholesalers, distributors, and everyone in between attend NHS to discover the newest products, innovations and trends that are shaping the future of the home improvement and DIY industry.
There is truly no other event that fills the void for outdoor living quite like the National Hardware Show. Originally launched back in 2005, the National Hardware Show has always had a robust lawn and garden category to host a wide range of outdoor living suppliers. Now, to support the rapid growth of these categories, the Backyard has branched into its very own category to become the destination for everything outdoors at NHS.
The exciting NHS Cook-off will return in 2024! Chefs representing exhibitors in our BBQ & Grilling category will once again go head-to-head in the Backyard to show their skills by creating a unique dish using a set of specific ingredients chosen by our host, Mitche Graf from BBQ Nation.
Last year, each chef was tasked with grilling their best burger and whipping up a tasty appetizer, to then be judged by a panel of foodies. The winner of the Cook-Off earned serious bragging rights and a cash prize. Join us on Day 1 (March 26) in the NHS Backyard to see what’s cooking. Chefs will begin at 12:00 PM, and judging will take place at 2:00 PM.
