Mar 19, 2018RFID Journal, the world's leading source of news and information about radio frequency identification technologies, today announced an agreement to co-locate its retail-focused event, to be called RFID Journal LIVE! Retail in 2019, with the Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition (IRCE), the world's largest e-commerce event, and GlobalShop, the world's largest annual event for shopper-facing retail design, technology and in-store marketing. This new, enhanced event concept will operate under the name RetailX.
RetailX will bring together three distinct shows to create an intersection of e-commerce, store design and innovation. The event will take place on June 25-27, 2019, at McCormick Place in Chicago.
"Retail adoption of RFID technology is accelerating," says Mark Roberti, RFID Journal's founder and editor. "We know RFID can boost inventory accuracy to better than 95 percent, enable omnichannel retailing and enhance the customer experience. By bringing together RFID companies with both online and brick and mortar retailers, RetailX will be instrumental in forging a new model where retailers enable customers to buy anytime anywhere and by any means they prefer."
RetailX is expected to attract and inspire more than 20,000 attendees and more than 1,200 exhibiting brands, based on recent trends from each show. Educational tracks will provide a broader scope with intent to give attendees a significant competitive edge in the rapidly evolving retail world. More information about RetailX will be available at the conclusion of GlobalShop 2018, RFID Journal LIVE! 2018 and IRCE 2018.
