RILA’s Supply Chain Conference is the undisputed leading retail event in logistics, distribution, and
supply chain management. The conference brings together representatives of all major retail and
consumer product manufacturer segments, along with relevant solutions providers, to create a firstclass educational and networking opportunity. RILA’s Supply Chain Conference consistently features the
senior-level decision-makers at its events with the majority of participants being at a vice president level
or above. In addition, exhibitors enjoy 1:2 ratios of retail executives to exhibitor executives, giving
exhibitors more face-time with retailers – thus maximizing their return on investment. Make plans to
join more than 1,400 retail supply chain executives in Orlando next February as they gather together to
network, learn and discover new supply chain solutions in our Exhibit Hall.
