NRF Supply Chain 360

NRF Supply Chain 360, previously planned for April 2023 in Long Beach, Calif., has been postponed. NRF is poised to complete an acquisition that will provide us an opportunity to present retailers, sponsors and all stakeholders in our industry with a state-of-the-art event on mission-critical supply chain issues in the coming months.

As the leading convener for content on retail’s most important issues – from day-to-day operations to future challenges and opportunities – NRF consistently brings retail leaders the very best programming on supply chain, asset protection, technology, sustainability and a host of other essential topics.
