The National Retail Federation (NRF) and Paris-based event organizer Comexposium have announced that the Paris Retail Week annual conference and exhibition will be rebranded beginning in 2025. The inaugural NRF 2025: Retail’s Big Show Europe is scheduled for September 16-18, 2025, at the Paris Porte de Versailles Pavilions 4 & 6. This event is expected to attract thousands of retailers and business partners from across Europe.
"NRF is proud to represent the largest global retail brands in the world, and we are excited to expand our award-winning educational experiences into new markets, complementing the annual Big Show in New York City and Retail’s Big Show Asia Pacific," said NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay. "Every single day, successful retailers are exploring new tools, new approaches, and new innovations to remain relevant to loyal shoppers and new customers alike. For nearly 110 years, NRF has embraced the same culture of change in order to build and grow our first-in-class programming."
NRF has participated in Paris Retail Week for several years. This past June, NRF and Comexposium jointly hosted the inaugural NRF Retail’s Big Show Asia Pacific. The sold-out event convened more than 6,000 business leaders and 300 technology providers for three days in Singapore. Now, both organizations are broadening their partnership by bringing their collective expertise to one of the world's most trendsetting consumer-driven cities.
"As one of the leading global event organizers, Comexposium built Paris Retail Week from the ground up," said Comexposium Managing Director Laurent Noel. "We are now committed, in partnership with NRF, to ensuring our combined experience will result in one of the most dynamic, sought-after, and highly attended retail events in Europe."
Paris Retail Week has been a significant event for European retailers for over a decade, bringing together more than 350 exhibitors each year covering the entire value chain of omnichannel commerce. It also features over 200 conferences addressing various retail-related business issues.
By joining forces with NRF—which shares Comexposium's goal of helping retailers meet their business development challenges—the newly created Retail’s Big Show Europe aims to offer an unparalleled scope within Europe.
