What Our Community Said

“The conference track sessions and expo hall stages were a great source of ideas for our team. We were even inspired to changed our mind on some ideas, like using chat bots, and are considering marketing avenues we hadn't considered before.”

“As a newcomer to the industry, I enjoyed being able to ask questions and connect with people who have already been a part of the industry. #RICE24 is newcomer friendly!”

“This is a show retail managers and directors should attend, if they are looking for ways to grow their business. The exhibitors at this show enhance your sells, and can bring your retail story to life.”

“RICE provided a behind-the-curtains look at how many of the leading companies in retail continue to innovate and engage their customers. Tech and digital dominate the headlines, but these companies are succeeding through human connection that was worth learning about.”

“What truly set RICE24 apart was the seamless integration of cutting-edge retail technologies and in-depth expert panels. The focus on both in-store and digital innovation provided a comprehensive view of the industry's future, which isn't as prominently highlighted in other events.”

“With retail media gaining more popularity and investment each year, it was great to see the retail-specific conversation around media at #RICE24. My colleague and I came away from the conference with insights we had not seen at some of the larger conferences this year, which spoke to RICE's lean-in to innovation.”

“The RICE conference exceeded all of my expectations. What a great set of exhibitors, speaking sessions and thought leaders!”

“The Retail Innovation Conference was so rich. I felt so fortunate to be in attendance to hear from such an interesting and diverse group of leaders in their various fields.”
