“NRF is proud to represent the largest global retail brands in the world, and we are excited to expand our award-winning educational experiences into new markets, complementing the annual Big Show in New York City and Retail’s Big Show Asia Pacific,” NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay said. “Every single day, successful retailers are exploring new tools, new approaches and new innovations to remain relevant to loyal shoppers and new customers alike. For nearly 110 years, NRF has embraced the same culture of change in order to build and grow our first-in-class programming.”

NRF has participated in Paris Retail Week for several years, and this past June NRF and Comexposium jointly hosted the inaugural NRF Retail’s Big Show Asia Pacific. The sold-out inaugural event convened more than 6,000 business leaders and 300 technology providers for three days in Singapore. Now, the two organizations are broadening their partnership and bringing their collective expertise to one of the world’s greatest trendsetting and dynamic consumer-driven cities in the world.

“As one of the leading global event organizers, Comexposium built Paris Retail Week from the ground up. We are now committed, in partnership with NRF, to ensuring our combined experience will result in one of the most dynamic, sought after and highly attended retail events in Europe,” Comexposium Managing Director Laurent Noel said. “Paris Retail Week is a major event for European retailers. For more than 10 years, we have been bringing together more than 350 exhibitors each year, covering the entire value chain of omnichannel commerce. Paris Retail Week also features more than 200 conferences in plenary sessions and workshop rooms, covering all retail-related business issues. By joining forces with NRF, which shares our goal of helping retailers meet their business development challenges, we are bringing the best of both worlds to the market through a new event of unrivalled scope in Europe.”

The marriage of NRF Retail’s Big Show and Paris Retail Week to create Retail’s Big Show Europe will attract industry-leading speakers and premier content and innovations from across Europe. For more information, please visit nrfbigshoweurope.nrf.com.
