Stax Trade Centres and bira are offering an amazing opportunity for an independent retailer to visit the International Hardware Association (IHA) Congress in Shanghai, China. The winner will have the opportunity to rub shoulders with over 500 delegates and professionals of the hardware industry from across the world.

The 5-day event in Shanghai will provide a unique insight into cutting edge industry trends and its future. Something that could prove invaluable for any independent retailer.

Vin Vara of The Toolshop, London who attended the event last year commented: “Being at the IHA event was a great chance for me to meet like-minded people in my industry and learn from what they do”.

“The IHA event is definitely an event I recommend anybody with the chance to attend as it has helped me further than I could ever imagine. In fact, it has been so useful, I have visited multiple times in different countries and plan to go to future congresses when possible.”

The event will be held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC) in Shanghai between the 18th and 23rd October 2017. Entering the competition couldn’t be any simpler.
