Registration Eligibility
RETAILERS
To qualify as a retail attendee, an individual attendee must be an employee of a retail company (not engaged as a consultant, contractor, or agent thereof). A retail company is defined by RILA as a company whose core business is selling its inventory of consumer products directly to end consumers.
CONSUMER PRODUCT MANUFACTURERS
To qualify as a consumer product manufacturer attendee, an individual must be an employee of a consumer product manufacturer (not engaged as a consultant, contractor, or agent thereof). A consumer product manufacturer is defined by RILA as a company whose core business is selling consumer products that it manufactures to sell to end consumers or for resale to retailers to sell to end consumers. Companies that sell products to retailers for use in the business (e.g. security cameras, POS systems, or other products intended for use in the store, DC, HQ, or other locations) do not qualify as consumer product manufacturers for RILA purposes.
SERVICE PROVIDERS
Service providers are the companies that provide goods or services to the retail industry for use by the company, their stores, or their distribution centers. If you are attending RILA from a business development perspective, you would be included in this category. This applies to the various ports and any logistics company owned by a retailer that services other retailers. Individuals from service supplier companies must contract (as either an exhibitor, sponsor, or hosted meetings program) in order to attend a RILA Event.
Registration Confirmations
All registrations will be confirmed, in writing, via email.
