2026 Retail Media Networks: Full Sessions & Insights

January 10, 2026 | NYC

The Definitive
RMN Event 

Now in its third year, What’s in Store for Retail Media has become the required gathering for those shaping the next frontier of advertising. Last year’s standing-room-only audience of over 600 attendees were provided unparalleled insights and networking opportunities.

With zero pay-to-play content, this is no trade show pitch-fest. On stage and in the room are the senior retail media executives, strategists, and creatives candidly reflecting on how they are delivering the future of in-store media. 

Industry Leading Brands

Beyond Potential and Into Execution 

When this event premiered in January 2024, in-store retail media was still buried beneath the broader headlines of ecommerce, digital, and programmatic. Fast forward to today: it’s the focal point of investment, innovation, and industry buzz.
