The Pulse of Global Retail at Javits
Every January, the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center transforms into a futuristic bazaar of technology and strategy for NRF 2026: Retail’s Big Show. Running from January 11–13, 2026, this is not just a trade show; it is the barometer for the global economy.
Why Attend NRF 2026?
With over 40,000 attendees expected, NRF is where big deals are signed. This year’s focus is heavily on AI integration in physical stores and sustainable supply chains. If you are in town for business, securing Manhattan convention hotels near Hudson Yards is critical.
