NRF’s inaugural State of Retail & the Consumer virtual event will focus on consumer shopping trends that are reshaping retail.
There is not an industry in the world other than retail that interacts with the sheer number of American citizens in communities large and small on a daily basis. As the voice of retail, NRF is in the best position to convene experts and tell the consumer story. This must-attend event hosted by NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay will feature industry experts, retail CEOs from major brands and market researchers for timely conversations on the post-pandemic consumer, NRF’s revised annual spending forecast, and the future of retail. Explore how consumers are becoming increasingly divided on key issues and retailers are aligning their businesses, products and services to appeal to conscious-driven consumers.
