The Conference continues today with speakers, including Home Hardware Chair Christine Hand and Altus Group’s Peter Norman, who will give a spirited update on the state of the economy. The day will culminate in a reception sponsored by Home Hardware before this evening’s Outstanding Retailer Awards gala. Watch for full Conference coverage in an upcoming edition of Hardlines!
