Technology Leadership Council

Join our technology leadership network

The NRF Technology Leadership Council convenes emerging technology leaders (e.g., direct reports to CIOs and CTOs) within NRF retail member companies. This council provides a forum for members to engage and network with NRF and other technology leaders on critical technology and business issues. The members-only network provides leadership development and other strategic opportunities that prepare council members for more senior roles within their companies.

The NRF Technology Leadership Council is a subcommittee of NRF’s CIO Council.
