Become a Partner

Each year, RILA and the RLC host the preeminent event for retail chief legal officers and their senior legal teams: The Retail Law Conference. We develop exceptionally strong program content to attract the best and the brightest of retail’s legal leadership. We design the conference to maximize high-value, quality interactions among inside and outside counsel. And we limit outside counsel registration to ensure a strong inside-to-outside counsel ratio.

This year’s Retail Law Conference will be held October 9-11, 2024 in Chicago, Illinois. We hope you will join us to create an exceptional educational event and further the community of lawyers who collectively serve the country’s leading retailers.

Each partner level comes with its own perks, but all partners will receive:

PRE-EVENT MARKETING

  • Company logo inclusion on pre-conference materials (time sensitive)
  • ​Access to conference attendee list

ON-SITE MARKETING

  • Company logo on signage
  • Company exposure in official conference mobile app
  • Partner ribbons on badges
  • Ability to place collateral (1 item) at distribution table 

As a partner of the conference, your organization is eligible to select one item or element of the conference under your chosen partner level. Please note, all breakout session partners must commit at least a program partner level.
