WR and a group of Washington State legislators will attend the 2026 NRF State Legislative Leadership Experience, held during the National Retail Federation’s Big Show in New York City. This marks the first time Washington will participate, as previous Big Show dates have coincided with the start of the legislative session.
The NRF State Legislative Leadership Experience brings state lawmakers from around the country to experience an immersive look into the size, strength, and innovation driving the retail industry. Last year, legislators from across the country toured major retail stores to gain firsthand insight into how retailers create jobs, invest in communities, and address challenges such as retail theft and evolving consumer needs.
During the multi-day experience, lawmakers will attend NRF’s Big Show events, explore new retail technologies, and engage in policy discussions with industry leaders on key issues including organized retail crime, data privacy, AI, and supply chain resiliency.
Washington’s participation in 2026 represents an exciting opportunity to strengthen collaboration between retailers and policymakers and deepen their understanding of the industry’s role as a major economic engine for the state.
