NOTE: IRDC is for executive store planners, visual merchandisers, retail designers and sponsors only. If you are a manufacturer or supplier, you must be a sponsor to attend. (Please visit the Interested in Sponsoring? page for more information.)

We reserve the right to deny admittance to non-retailers. A non-retailer is anyone who seeks a business-to-business relationship (client, partner, etc.) with retailers. For example, if your company has design capabilities, but you also manufacture, install and implement the items for the spaces you design, you are considered a manufacturer/supplier and cannot attend the IRDC. If retail design is your primary business, you qualify as an attendee. If printing graphics, for example, is a small portion of that design business, you won’t automatically be disqualified. In cases such as this, admission is granted at IRDC’s discretion.

If you have questions about your retailer/non-retailer status, please contact us before you make travel plans for this event. IRDC makes every effort to notify non-retailers who register for a retailer-only event in error as soon as possible.
