RSPA's RetailNOW returns to Florida; Announces Event Sponsors

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - July 30, 2014 - PRLog -- RSPA's RetailNOW 2014, “where the industry meets,” will be held on August 3-6, at the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center in Kissimmee, Florida. The event returns to the Orlando area after two years in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. Kicking off with networking and education, the event’s signature is a more than 180 exhibit floor, which opens on Tuesday, August 5.

“The Florida location was highly rated by our attendees in 2011,” said Elena Turner, RSPA Director of Finance and Operations. “For many years, the event was held exclusively in Las Vegas. The positive feedback on Orlando in 2011 gave us the opportunity to vary the location of RetailNOW so that we can maximize participation of member companies on both coasts.”

The Gaylord’s Kissimmee, Florida venue, with its 400,000 square feet of meeting space, 100 meeting rooms, and expansive exhibit space, will host the RetailNOW event attendees. Attendance is expected at more than two thousand, comprised of retail technology resellers, manufacturers, software vendors, distributors, and payments companies.

RSPA has an extensive list of event sponsors who provide support for the execution of the RetailNOW event. 2014 RetailNOW Event sponsors include: Blue Star, EPSON, FuturePOS, Heartland Payment Systems, Ingram Micro, Mercury, Motorola Solutions, NCC, Powervar, ProCharge, ScanSource, Siriani, Sterling Payment Technologies, and Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions.

RSPA package sponsors also provide ongoing support for the Association and RetailNOW:

2014 Platinum Sponsors: BlueStar; Business Solutions Magazine; EPSON; Merchant Warehouse; Mercury; ScanSource.

2014 Gold Sponsors: Datacap Systems, Inc.; Harbortouch; Powervar; Star; SYNNEX; TransFirst; VSR Magazine.

2014 Silver Sponsors: Discover Financial Services; Elo; ISIS; Merchant Link; NEC.

“Without the support of our 2014 sponsors, the RSPA would not be able to provide such a valuable and well-rounded RetailNOW experience for our members and event attendees,” said Stephen Gift, Member Services Supervisor at RSPA. “Our association, and the event, has grown exponentially in the last 6 years, and the breadth and diversity of our Sponsors this year demonstrates that.”
