Tampa, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/23/2014 -- Retail supply chain consulting firm RPE is kicking off Retail's BIG Show as a sponsor of the NRF Opening Night Reception at the Marriott Marquis on Sunday, January 11 from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. Doors open at 5 p.m. for NRF members.

"It's where retail executives attending NRF come together to network and build new partnerships – all while having a good time in a casual and relaxed atmosphere," said Cliff Epstein, President, RPE.

Guests must present a 2015 NRF badge to enter the reception on the 8th and 9th floors of the hotel located in Times Square. Plus, the Marriott Marquis is an NRF Satellite Registration site for registration and badge pick up.

"Why wait in the long lines at the Jacob Javits Convention Center, when you can pick up your badge in advance and be able to enjoy the reception," added Epstein. "It's a great opportunity to meet with our retail management consulting team before the show."

RPE is also a silver level sponsor at the 2015 NRF Conference & EXPO. Retailers can attend the EXPO at no charge, compliments of RPE, when they register on the internet at http://www.nrf.com/annual15, using code #332. The NRF EXPO pass is valued at $1,250.

Retailers not able to make the reception are encouraged to stop by the RPE booth #3543.
