Make a vision. Meet a visionary.
NRF 2020 Vision: Retail's Big Show is the one event where people make more than just contacts, they make cohorts. And with more than 38,000 people converging in NYC, we've created special events and programs to make it easy to meet and greet (and collaborate).
Opening Party
Start the show off right.
New for NRF 2020, the Opening Party will be held on Saturday, January 11. Get into the city early to connect with friends and create new partnerships before Big Show even starts. Held at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square.
Expo Hall Tours
Navigate the Expo like a pro.
NRF, in partnership with Consumers in Motion, is providing unique Expo tour experiences. Each two-hour walking tour in the Expo Hall will offer an in-depth study of retail technology across multiple business disciplines.
The FQ Lounge @ NRF 2020
Meet the women rewriting retail.
Powered by The Female Quotient, The FQ Lounge @ NRF 2020 creates experiential pop-ups at global conferences, corporations and college campuses where women connect, collaborate and activate change together. There is power in the pack!
