A dynamic, interactive format where attendees can engage directly with NRF speakers: leading retail executives, experts in their field and technology innovators. These 20-minute sessions are an open mic opportunity for attendees with an All-Access Pass to ask their most pressing questions — whether about strategy, technology adoption, consumer behavior, talent or future trends. The topics discussed are decided by the audience-driven questions. These sessions are closed to press and off the record.
The session is designed to:
• Foster candid dialogue with industry leaders
• Surface real challenges attendees are facing in their businesses
• Provide practical insights that go beyond the prepared remarks of a keynote
• Encourage peer-to-peer learning as questions from the audience often spark ideas relevant to all
It’s less presentation, more conversation — an opportunity for attendees to hear personalized perspectives from the experts shaping the industry today.
