"A retailer by our definition is someone who owns their own merchandise and sells to consumers via storefront, catalogue, TV or online. If one sells products or services to a retail company, we consider that business to business. And, individuals selling business to business are NOT considered retail."

The National Retail Federation strives to present educational programming that is relevant, throught-provoking and inspiring. Content for the 2011 BIG Show is currently being developed.

Session topics and tracks for the 2011 Show will include: Global Outlook, Information Technology, Marketing & Brand Management, Merchandising, Online Retailing, Store Design, Store Works, Sustainability and Supply Chain.

The 2011 EXPO Hall will be an enormous 170,000 sq. ft. with more than 500 vendors. The floor will be buzzing with networking opportunities, idea exchange and dynamic products and solutions to help retailers compete in a struggling economy.
