Hardware & Automotive Session 2027 is held at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel in Dallas, Texas.
Registering an extra attendee costs $650 USD per person, per day, with a $250 discount available off participation. Sellers entering through the Emerging Brands tier pay $6,318 USD with special savings, or $6,650 USD at full price.
Attendees include suppliers pursuing discovery, distribution growth, or strategic planning through the RangeMe Discovery Hub, Innovation Pipeline, and Planning Session tracks, paired with retail buyers based on categories, capabilities, and objectives.
The session runs three days and combines Hardware, Tools, Automotive, Batteries, Electrical Cords, Light Bulbs, Paint & Accessories, Plumbing, Safety Supplies, and Gloves categories with the Impulse and Convenience sessions at one location.
It is most useful for suppliers of hardware, tools, automotive products, batteries and similar categories who want prearranged, short appointments with retail buyers from several channels, since participants are paired by category and buyer objectives and the fee covers travel, hotel and meals. Smaller brands that cannot absorb a fee near the Emerging Brands tier, and anyone hoping to wander an open show floor, would get less, because meetings are scheduled and some large chains may opt out of seeing certain suppliers.
Buyers and suppliers at retail appointment sessions in hotel ballrooms usually wear business casual, such as slacks and collared shirts or blazers.
