NRF Rev set out to spotlight the importance of reverse logistics as part of the circular economy — and now that mission moves to an even bigger platform!
In 2027, the content that made NRF Rev a success will be fully integrated into Retail’s Big Show at the Javits Center — anchored by a dedicated Reverse Logistics Stage and Reverse Logistics Pavilion on the Expo floor.
This evolution brings emerging reverse logistics technology and next-gen leadership directly into the core of Retail’s Big Show, creating a more seamless, high-impact networking experience for attendees, exhibitors and partners.
The result: One destination where the entire retail ecosystem comes together to shape what’s next.
NRF Rev 2026 was an event to help retailers, brands and manufacturers reduce costs and increase profits from retail and other product returns, excess inventory and obsolete equipment by improving reverse logistics processes.
NRF Rev took place January 11-12, 2026 at the Sheraton Times Square in New York City.
