Breakfast will be followed by a general session state-of-the-industry address by Brandon Gale, President of Retail Shipping Associates.

Retail Shippers Expo - Tradeshow
This is your chance to get face time with the manufacturers, distributors, suppliers and carriers so important to the success of your business. The best vendors in the industry will be on hand to showcase the latest in technology, products, tools, and services. Retail products, hardware and point-of-sale software companies, specialty tools, carriers, freight services you name it – they’ll all be there with one objective: To help make your store more profitable.

The Retail Shippers Expo - Tradeshow will open at noon on Saturday, July 16th, and close 4 1/2 hours later at 4:30 pm--allowing plenty of time to visit every exhibitor. You’ll also have the opportunity to network with other store owners, share your ideas – and probably pick up a few yourself! There is NO FEE to attend the RS Expo - Tradeshow if you pre-register.
NOTE: There will be a $25.00 fee at the door the day of the tradeshow if you are not pre-registered by 5:00pm CST Friday July 15th.

Breakout Sessions
Learn from the experts. Industry veterans and vendors will share their knowledge and experience in ten 45-minute breakout sessions. Exploring everything from "The Secret to Selling Mailboxes" to "Website Search Engine Optimization".

Profit Builder Clinics
Several vendors will be providing FREE clinics to store owners interested in offering their products and services in their own stores. The purpose is to specifically show store owners how to best position these products or services in order to maximize the profit potential. The one-hour sessions will give owners plenty of time to get a complete picture on how each product can enhance their current offering.

RS Expo Tradeshow Block Party
The Saturday night RS Expo Tradeshow Block Party gives you more time to visit with your favorite vendors in a more social environment. You can talk business, network, or just shoot the breeze with vendors and your fellow store owners while you enjoy drinks and hors d'oeuvres in a party atmosphere.

Town Hall Meeting & Open Mic Discussion
Let your voice be heard at the Sunday morning Town Hall Meeting. This is the perfect venue to ask questions, and share your thoughts on the issues affecting the retail shipping industry with your fellow store owners and operators.

Peer & Vendor Networking
Many owners say that networking during the RS Expo is as valuable as any other aspect of the event. The venue and schedule are designed specifically to encourage interaction with your peers and promote the exchange of ideas.
