2006 National Hardware Show® in Last Vegas Selling Out Quickly

The 61st annual National Hardware Show is preparing for a full house at its Las Vegas event May 9-11, 2006, with more than 720,000 square feet of floor space at the Las Vegas Convention Center and most popular hotels already sold out.

For the first time, the entire show will be located at the Las Vegas Convention Center-sprawling across three halls with nearly two million square feet of total space. And that extra space will be needed. At the 2005 show, more than 3,200 exhibitors displayed thousands of new products across some 681,191 square feet of exhibit space. 2005 attendance increased by an estimated 30 percent, according to show organizers.

For 2006, each of the three halls will be dedicated to specific product categories, providing expanded registration space, more meeting areas and more room on the show floors.
