Networking

The VIP treatment starts upon your arrival at NRF Nexus! Check in to the hotel, pick up your event badge and enjoy drinks, snacks and breathtaking views. While you’re there, set up your event app, connect with other attendees and get the scoop on the Two Truths and a Lie game.

There's no shortage of food and socializing at NRF Nexus! Enjoy champagne in paradise at the Welcome Party and Dinner on Tuesday. Expand your network and mix and mingle with fellow retailers under the stars at Wednesday’s Networking Party & Dinner. And close the event out with cocktails and dinner at Nelson’s, Terranea’s cliffside restaurant, Thursday.

For those who want to keep the party going after dinner on Wednesday, join us for s’mores, cocktails and networking fireside.

Maximize opportunities to meet with peers over breakfast and lunch throughout the event. This is also the perfect time to play the conversation-starter game Two Truths and a Lie within the event app to easily engage with people you don’t know.

Connect with peers through the mobile app to chat prior to the event and schedule one-on-one meetings at NRF Nexus. Search the attendee list to connect and be sure to set up your profile on the app so it can connect you with attendees who have similar interests.
