As a leader in retail AI, invent.ai is attending NRF 2025, and we want to help you tap all the resources and potential of the event. The 2025 National Retail Federation (NRF) Retail’s Big Show is planned for January 12-14 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention in New York City. This year, NRF is all about game-changing experiences. With over 40,000 attendees, 5,000 brands and 175+ sessions, it can be overwhelming to know how to plan your time. Tour NRF 2025 tips and tricks can help you make the most of the event and come home with the information and contacts you need.

NRF 2025 tip #1 - know your objectives

What's your goal for attending? Are you looking to compare different solutions or check out new tech that could boost your business? You may want to expand your network or find new partners. Keep those goals in mind when making decisions at the event!

NRF 2025 tip #2 - set up meetings in advance

Avoid long waits by scheduling meetings with popular vendors in advance for more productive conversations. And remember—wear comfortable shoes! With over 800,000 square feet of exhibit space at the crowded Javits Center, getting around takes time. Plan your schedule wisely.
