The conference committee is busy behind the scenes planning the education for this year’s Trade Show in October. Education is something they are really passionate about, and their goal is simple: We want every retailer to leave the show with tools, ideas, and strategies to help grow their business and boost their bottom line.


We are putting together sessions on topics like Canva and customization, driving incremental sales, smart merchandising, inventory and business analysis, and building strong partnerships. On top of that, the trade show will be packed with both new and familiar manufacturers, and Oklahoma City is a great place to explore. And let’s not forget one of the best parts—connecting with fellow retailers. The learning that happens through those conversations is truly priceless.


Book your hotel room today and keep an eye out for registration coming soon!
