NRF Rev evolves in 2027 — expanding beyond reverse logistics to reflect the full scope of today’s supply chain priorities.

Building on its foundation, reverse logistics remains a core focus, now brought to life through the Reverse Logistics Pavilion on the show floor and integrated into a broader supply chain experience connected to Retail’s Big Show. This evolution brings together leaders across returns, fulfillment, recommerce and end-to-end operations to tackle the industry’s most complex challenges.

A cornerstone of this expanded focus is the Supply Chain in Retail (SCiR) Summit, an off-site event designed to connect retailers, brands and solution providers around the future of supply chain and reverse logistics, in partnership with RETHINK Retail.

  • Sunday, January 10, 2027
    Lavan Midtown
    New York City
    4:30 PM – 6:30 PM (content) + networking reception to follow

  • The SCiR Summit brings together cross-functional leaders to share actionable insights, build partnerships and drive innovation across the entire supply chain.

  • Free for retailers and brands (registration required).

The result: A more connected, high-impact experience across on-site and off-site programming — uniting the retail ecosystem to move supply chain forward.
