Retail Dive

Retail Dive has published a roundup of the leading retail trade shows scheduled for 2027, outlining the key industry events where retailers, brands and technology vendors are expected to gather. The list serves as an early planning guide for professionals deciding which conferences and expos to attend or exhibit at. Trade show calendars draw attention because booth space, travel and sponsorships require months of advance budgeting.

Walmart is again publicly defending its pricing practices, according to Retail Dive. The retailer, frequently criticized by suppliers, competitors and regulators over how it sets and negotiates prices, has repeated its position that its pricing is fair and lawful. The company's size means its pricing decisions ripple across the retail sector, keeping the debate alive among industry watchers and consumer advocates.
