Prepare for the conference and have a plan

Attend General Session and Breakout Education Sessions

Learn from industry experts and peers during two days of education, featuring 30+ sessions on refrigeration, energy, store design, sustainability, and regulations. Check out the full agenda—updated regularly with new sessions.

Attend the Retailer Exchange (RE)

The Retailer Exchange (RE) isn’t your typical tradeshow—it’s a two-day networking reception with tabletop displays, small bites, and a focus on conversations that drive business, showcase innovation, and expand your network.

Plan to have some free time

Leave room in your schedule for spontaneous conversations, meetups, or a quick recharge. Whether it's coffee, catching up on email, or grabbing dinner with fellow attendees—some of the best connections happen between sessions.

Wear a First Time Attendee Ribbon!

Pick up your First Time Attendee ribbon at registration and wear it proudly! It’s a great way to spot fellow newcomers, start conversations, and grow your network—one friendly hello at a time.

Your badge is required for entry into all official events.

Download the Conference Mobile App

With the free E+SD mobile app, you can view sessions, plan your schedule, see who’s attending, and message other participants. The app will be available about a week before the event, with download info sent via email or available onsite at registration.

Get social—And skip the tie!

Take advantage of E+SD’s welcoming social scene—from meals and networking breaks to the Women’s Breakfast and the off-site party. Dress is business casual (no ties), and don’t forget comfy shoes and a light layer—meeting rooms can be chilly.
