Speaking and Hosting at NHS Concept to Commerce

At the March 31 to April 2, 2026 show, Stefanie’s sessions included “The AI Advantage: Smarter Procurement, Pricing, and Forecasting in Retail” and “Unmistakable: The Power of Being Seen.”

She also hosted and emceed awards, led fireside conversations, and appeared in promotional videos. The work connected practical business education with the people and stories at the show.

Grit Blueprint recorded four stage conversations and two separate podcast interviews. Those recordings became six published episodes. A separate set of six promotional videos supported the event.

How Women Rise in Hardware

Stefanie joined NHS as an influencer and brand ambassador in 2024. For the 2025 show, she helped develop HBSDealer's How Women Rise in Hardware program.

The March 18 program addressed personal brand and behaviors that can hold women back. Stefanie helped shape the program, prepare speakers, and plan the panel with Allison Flatjord, Carol Crystal, and Christine VanOrmer.

Her contribution started before the event: choosing the focus, preparing the guests, and building the discussion.

Bringing the Show to Television

On March 19, 2025, Stefanie guest co-hosted live NHS segments for KLAS 8’s Good Day Las Vegas. Her hardware background helped her explain the show to viewers at home.

That experience adds another option for event teams: an on-camera host who knows the industry and can make it clear to a wider audience.
