Retailers assemble! The National Retail Federation’s BIG show is right around the corner, with the 2018 event returning to New York’s Jacob K. Javits Center from Jan. 14-16. The 2018 event will feature 600+ exhibitors from 95 countries showing off the latest in retail concepts to an expected 35,000 attendees. They don’t call it the “BIG” show for nothing.

Marxent was one of 20 startups selected to participate in a new BIG show program this year – NRF Startup Meetups. The program is designed to help retail executives discover innovative solutions for their business through private, pre-scheduled meetings with tech startup executives. We’re not exhibiting at NRF this year, but will be in New York City during the event, giving tours of a top secret VR retail installation. Interested?

NOTE: Startup Meetup space is limited, and is limited to NRF retail member company executives with Full Conferences passes to NRF 2018. For more details and to set your meeting, email startups@nrf.com.

We had an absolute blast meeting a crazy number of interesting people, demoing our wares, and generally just trying to take it all in. Here’s a look back:
