A New Outlook for Retail is on Display in Chicago

The retail world may seem divided between e-commerce and brick-and-mortar locations, but people today have a greater access to goods anywhere in the world than ever before.

This synergy is on display at RetailX in Chicago this week. The conference brought a trio of leading industry events (Global Shop, IRCE, and RFID Journal Live! Retail) under one name. The event is currently taking place in Chicago from June 25-28 at McCormick Place.

There are 1,200 exhibitors on the show floor and 20,000 attendees are expected.
