Published: February 9, 2022

RFID Journal announced today that it is adding a new track, “Complying with Retailer RFID Mandates,” to the  RFID Journal LIVE! 2022 conference program. The event will be held on May 17-19, at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nev.

“More retailers are asking suppliers to put RFID tags on the items they sell,” says Mark Roberti, RFID Journal’s founder and editor. “This in-depth, one-day track will help suppliers choose a tag provider and ensure that their tags meet retailer performance requirements, are encoded properly, and have the proper information printed on the tag or label.”

The track will be held on Tuesday, May 17, and will consist of six sessions presented by experts in RFID tagging and retailer requirements:
