The Hardware Show is an event organised by the industry, for the industry, and together with our event management partner, Eventhaus, Hardware Association Ireland invites you to participate in the 2019 Show.

The 2017 Show Report...This Show has become the largest and most important event for the sector, both in Ireland and the wider UK/Ireland marketplace. The 2017 Show at the RDS Simmonscourt was the largest show ever with 163 exhibitors, over 3,800 sqm of space sold, and 2,000+ visitors during the course of the two-day event. With increased activity in both the commercial and residential building sectors as well as continued growth in the renovation, maintenance and improvement of buildings and homes, the 2019 Hardware Show will continue to be the leading show for retailers and merchants across the island to visit and find new and innovative products.

We listened to you...Annemarie Harte, CEO of Hardware Association Ireland said “Extensive research of exhibitors and visitors was completed after the 2017 Show and planning for the next show began in consultation with members of Hardware Association Ireland. We were determined to respect the views of our exhibitors and visitors and conduct a thorough review of the 2017 Show from location to contents. I’m satisfied that we have done this and that the 2019 Show will reflect the recommendations coming from the industry”.

New locationThis process resulted in a decision to return to Citywest in Saggart, Co Dublin for the 2019 Show. Just 25 minutes by car from Dublin Airport and Dublin city centre and located beside the N7/M7, Citywest is easily accessible internationally and from anywhere in Ireland. With over 750 bedrooms and extensive parking facilities onsite this venue and its location has everything needed to organise a top-class show in one location.

More comfortAnother recommendation from the research suggested that visitors need more comfortable surroundings to talk to potential new and existing suppliers so we’re making this our focus at the 2019 Show.

Wider audienceOne other suggestion from many of our suppliers of heavy-end materials was to extend the show to architects and specifiers. We will allocate a specific time and day for visitors from this group so that we enhance the value of the show to a large proportion of our exhibitors.

Innovation AwardsGiven that one of the top three reasons for visiting the Show includes finding new products, the Innovation Awards are an ideal platform to showcase your product. Comprising of five categories – Home, Garden, Build, DIY and Overall Winner – your product has every chance of beating the competition. Judged by a Dragons’ Den style panel of industry buyers, the winners are presented with their awards at the President’s Ball on the eve of the Show. The winning products are showcased at the entrance to the Show for the full two days of the exhibition, this exposure is second to none, so we encourage all exhibitors to consider entering.

President’s BallThe President’s Ball gala dinner and dance takes place on the eve of the Show. This social highlight of the industry calendar is the perfect setting to rekindle old friendships, make new ones and start the Show in style. The Ball is also the first opportunity for the industry to welcome the new President of Hardware Association Ireland who will be hosting the Ball in 2019 and personally invites all in the industry supply chain to attend and enjoy the evening.
