ABSTRACT

Retail Supply Chain Expo and the related 4 events including White Label Expo brought approximately 9,000 attendees to the Las Vegas Convention Center. TBW Advisors LLC captured over 60 minutes across 49 segments including a livestream and expo hall walkabout. Our coverage focused on the technology presented along the lifecycle of a retail product. This edition includes four unlisted Whisper Report playlists and concludes with a video montage answering: “What’s the best part about attending the combo event live in Vegas?”

The Conference

A community of roughly 9,000 gathered for a collection of events held together with no admission charge. We focused on the Retail, Supply Chain, and Logistics Expo 2025. Concurrently with shared expo hall was also the White Label World Expo, Smart Retail Tech, as well as the E-Commerce Packaging & Labelling Expo
The event featured 200 exhibitors and over 75 expert speakers on 11 different stages.

Cautions

Friendly reminder: this research provides examples of what was shared with us at the event, not an evaluation, validation, or recommendation of the given technology.

Conference Vibe

After 49 videos and over 60 minutes of video including a livestream and over a dozen fact checks, our coverage of Retail, Supply Chain, & Logistics Expo closes. This combination event is collocated and hosted with the White Label World Expo, Smart Retail Tech, as well as the E-Commerce Packaging & Labelling Expo. Despite multiple events, registration was quite simple. As seen in the expo hall walkabout, together one could create a business end-to-end or find any partner you needed to collaborate with. Interestingly much of the types of technology found we have covered at events throughout the year. The difference being while Manifest had an entire aisle on 3^rd party logistic providers and Pack Expo may have had an entire floor on automation, this event likely only features one to a handful of a given category. While the entire HR Tech was dedicated to HR and recruiting technology, a few were in expo hall. Likewise, Many found this set up to be quite conducive to finding prospects albeit predominately mid-market and smaller. That said, keynote speakers were frequently from Fortune Companies; thus, large enterprise market was still present. The event was held in the Las Vegas Convention Center in South Hall Upper which did have the in-hall eatery open. Guests declared that prices were ‘not that bad’.

We once again live streamed from on site. On Wednesday requesting those attending to find me to answer Questions 1-3, to introduce all to TBW Advisors LLC, and requesting assistance. Specifically, I requested assistance on your favorite videos for my segment on the October 24th broadcast edition of Computer Talk Radio.

While at Retail, Supply Chain, and Logistics Expo 2025, we conducted research for three additional forthcoming Whisper Reports for our clients. The playlists are unlisted but available and will eventually fill in with the video version of the report so you may wish to bookmark these playlists.

Readers and viewers wishing to experience the entire event are encouraged to view the Conference Whispers: Retail, Supply Chain & Logistics Expo Playlist in its entirety. The playlist is listed in the end screen, description, and as a pinned comment of the video edition.

The video edition will conclude with gratitude towards those that contributed and a montage of responses to Question 4, “What’s the best part about attending the combination event live in Vegas?”.
