The Retail Innovation Network (RIN) has emerged as the fastest-growing open innovation program for senior retail and CPG leaders with over 300 global organizations represented. Since launching in 2024, RIN has enabled over 1,000+ meaningful connections across the innovation ecosystem. 

At the heart of RIN are its flagship in-person events in Bentonville and London, designed to break down innovation siloes and foster deep collaboration across startups, scaled providers, retailers, and investors. These curated gatherings feature high-quality panels, startup showcases, and executive roundtables & networking - all engineered for real dialogue, not just presentations. 

The Retail Innovation Forum represents a senior, global audience actively seeking partnership and co-innovation opportunities. With representatives from over 30 countries and 90% of attendees in decision-making positions, the forum facilitates best-in-class opportunities for partnerships and co-innovation across geographies. 

With a no-cost, invite-only format the Retail Innovation Forums are designed for genuine exchange. Whether you're a retailer, tech company, investor, or innovator, RIF events offer a rare opportunity to connect, learn, and shape the future of retail together.
