NRF Retail's Big Show Europe takes place in Paris as a joint venture between NRF and Comexposium

According to FashionUnited, NRF Retail’s Big Show Europe is running in Paris at Porte de Versailles until Thursday, September 17, as a joint venture between the National Retail Federation and Comexposium for its second edition. The show aims to be the European version of a global platform, with a 50/50 split between French and international visitors, representation from over 60 countries, and about 300 exhibitors; exhibitors emphasize AI and local deployment while the event is framed as an event launch, not a rebranding. Among featured technologies, Cartesian is presenting its RFID product locator solution in Europe for the first time, deployed in nearly 1,000 stores across several European markets, while Artiso offers an AI platform for fashion brands across design to production.
