LINK Connect

The 1:1 Hosted Meeting Program

LINK Connect delivers efficient, outcome-driven conversations through curated 15-minute meetings powered by smart technology.

Retailers and CPGs gain direct access to next-gen tech across AI, automation, visibility tools, robotics, inventory optimization, and more—targeted supply chain discovery with double-opt-in meetings you select before arriving in Orlando.

Participants in LINK Connect get a complimentary all-access ticket to the conference, plus $1,000 in travel reimbursement, and an enhanced VIP experience throughout the event.

Technology Providers meet with engaged decision-makers actively exploring new tools and partnerships—no cold starts, no wasted time.

Focused conversations. Real momentum. This is where meaningful progress begins.

Bring Your Team – Multiply Connections. Maximize Impact.

Demand planners, logistics professionals, transportation and sustainability champions, trade compliance specialists, fulfillment leads and data analysts–your entire supply chain team is working together to deliver for the business and for your customers.

Bringing your team means broader coverage of sessions, networking, and solutions. And with free tickets through LINK Connect, it’s a cost-effective way to maximize value.

Teams of 10+ also receive a free meeting room for team huddles, recaps, or as a home base onsite.

Invite colleagues from across your organization to experience the industry's top supply chain event together. Contact us today at registration@rila.org to build your team package. Space is limited.

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers.

Who can apply?

To qualify for the LINK Connect program, you must be responsible for buying or evaluating supply chain technology, solutions or services, and complete up to eight (8) 15-minute onsite meetings with participating sponsors (that’s up to 2 hours of meetings). The travel/hotel reimbursement is based on receipts submitted following the event.

Will I be scheduled to meet with someone I don't want to meet with?

All meetings are double-opt-in, meaning both parties must indicate that they would like to meet for the meeting to be scheduled and take place.

How long is one LINK Connect Meeting?

Each meeting is 15 minutes long, the perfect amount of time to discover whether there is a greater opportunity to work together.

When are the meeting times for the LINK Connect Meetings? Will I miss any content sessions?

You can find all the meeting times in the Terms and Conditions. There will be no content sessions at the same time as LINK Connect meetings, so you won’t miss any content. All meetings will take place in a dedicated meetings area in the exhibit hall.
