For the first time, the entire show will be located in the Las Vegas Convention Center, sprawling across three halls and nearly 2 million square feet of exhibit space. Last year, more than 2,500 exhibitors displayed thousands of new items, and this year's event expects more.

New website

The website for this year's show has been completely revamped to make it more interactive and user-friendly for exhibitors, attendees and the media. Expanded content includes video commentary, downloadable research reports and online travel information. Check out www.nationalhardwareshow.com.
