This year’s PDRA sponsored Paint & Accessories Show at the 2013 National Hardware Show® is fast approaching with its return May 7-9 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The most comprehensive single-largest buying opportunity in the U.S. for the independent paint dealer makes this a “must attend” event! It is shaping up to be an exciting and informative showcase for the industry’s top brands and trends, where over 250 manufacturers plan to display their wares in many new and expanded categories.

There will also be a special highlight keynote appearance by actor, environmentalist, and author Ed Begley Jr.
