About This Show
AI-drafted summaryThe Orgill Spring Dealer Market is a large-scale hardware and home improvement buying event hosted by Orgill, Inc., the world's largest independently owned hardlines distributor. Held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, it brings together independent retailers, dealers, and vendors for three days of product discovery, order writing, and industry networking. The Orgill Dealer Market is the place where retailers are able to browse products from more than 1,000 exhibitors, gain insights and new ideas, and learn how to implement the latest industry trends for increased efficiency and profits.
The market is designed primarily for independent hardware store owners, home center operators, lumber and building material dealers, and farm-and-ranch retailers who buy through Orgill. The event offers attendees nearly 1 million square feet of exhibits, featuring more than 1,200 vendors showcasing the latest products and innovations, and gives retailers a chance to see new products, explore new categories, and secure market-only deals to boost margins and drive traffic.
Beyond the show floor, attendees can explore merchandising concepts and educational programming. Orgill's concept stores present two model stores designed to provide merchandising ideas tailored for both DIY enthusiasts and professional contractors, offering actionable solutions to boost sales. The market is worth attending for its exclusive show pricing, hands-on product access, and the opportunity to plan a full season of retail buying in one place.

Attendance
The in-person market draws thousands of independent retailers from across North America. Orgill has historically welcomed thousands of retailers to the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando for its Spring Dealer Market. Third-party event listings estimate attendance in the range of tens of thousands of retail buyers, though Orgill does not publish an official attendance figure.
Registration
The Orgill Dealer Market is a trade-only buying event intended for Orgill's retail customers (dealers) and its invited vendor partners; it is not open to the general public. Dealers typically register and reserve travel through their Orgill sales representative or via the Orgill customer portal at orgill.com. Prospective retailers who are not yet Orgill customers can inquire about attending by contacting Orgill through the "Become an Orgill Customer" form on the company's website. Because the live market often runs alongside an extended online buying event, dealers should confirm both in-person and virtual registration windows with Orgill in advance.
History
Orgill's roots run deep in the hardware industry. Orgill, Inc. was founded in 1847 in Memphis, Tennessee, and was Memphis's oldest operating private business before relocating to nearby Collierville, Tennessee. It is the world's largest independently owned hardlines distributor. The company hosts its Dealer Markets twice a year (spring and fall) as flagship buying events for its retail customers. In 2022 Orgill returned to the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando for its first in-person buying event in two years, an edition that also marked the distributor's 175th anniversary. The spring market has continued to grow, with recent editions covering nearly one million square feet of exhibit space.
