Note from the editor
If it were any other year, Retail Dive journalists would be preparing to attend the NRF's Big Show.
For business journalists, the conference is an opportunity to dive into the latest trends, hear from executives, and connect with sources. We decided to pivot after scientists discovered that coronavirus' newest iteration — the omicron variant — was spreading faster and more easily than the others.
While we will be watching for any news from the event, we won't attend. This decision reflects our goal to help us stay healthy so we can continue to deliver quality news to our readers.
As Retail Dive's new Lead Editor, I'm personally looking forward to joining my colleagues and other attendees at next year's event.
