Calling student bloggers! If you are attending NRF’s Big Show in New York City, and are interested in blogging for NRF Foundation’s Retail Careers Blog, let us know! Post a comment below or send an email to Angela Elder, Director of Certification and Career Development Programs.
NRF Foundation would like to enlist college students to recap the educational sessions, share their experiences, and give us a glimpse of the conference from a student’s (and future retailer’s) perspective.
The conference educational tracks include:
- Digital Retailing
- Global Trends & Forecasting
- Information Technology
- Marketing & Brand Management
- Merchandising
- People
- Store Design
- Store Operations
- Supply Chain
As NRF Foundation kicks off our new website and Retail Careers Blog, we are excited to connect students, educators and others to the world of retail, and the exciting career and learning opportunities that are available. And, there’s no better place to do than NRF’s 98th Annual Convention and EXPO. If you are attending the show and are eager to share your experiences, we want to hear from you! Post a comment below or contact Angela Elder for more details.

Update on Blogging at the Convention: If you are a college student attending the Big Show and are interested in blogging, here are a few more details.
(1) SIGN UP FOR A USERNAME/PASSWORD
In order to become a blogger, you will need to sign up for a username and password for our blog. Please do this before you arrive at the show. Be sure to read the instructions on how to obtain a username/password.
(2) FACE-TO-FACE MEETING ON SUNDAY, JAN. 11
Bloggers will meet with Angela Elder directly after the conclusion of the Sunday morning (Jan. 11) session, Try It, You’ll Love It. This session starts at 8:30 am and concludes at 10:00 am, and takes place in Room Hall E, 1E 12/13 (this will make sense when you get to the Javits Convention Center). Angela will be one of the presenters so you’ll be able to recognize her. An announcement will be made during the session about meeting afterwards. We won’t be able to use the same room (there’s a session immediately following), but we’ll gather outside the door and find a place to chat and talk about your “assignments.”
(3) WHEN IT IS TIME TO BLOG
We will discuss your specific areas of interest (merchandising, sustainability, etc.) and we’ll will make “assignments” based on the topics/sessions/events you want to cover. NRF Foundation will have a booth on the EXPO Hall floor and we will have a few laptops there for you to use when you are ready to type your posts (but, feel free to bring your own). Please note: your blog posts will need to be approved before they are published.
Blog on!
