Taking place through April 3 at the InterContinental Chicago O'Hare, the SOI Summit is featuring a new format for the morning networking breakfasts: Retailer Hot Topic Sessions.

Breakfast is served daily at 7:45 a.m. and presentations begin at approximately 8:00 a.m.

Nearly 450 attendees--retailers, suppliers and other industry stakeholders--are slated to attend this year's event, where they will be able to take advantage of dedicated networking time to reconnect with peers and to develop new, powerful connections with other industry professionals at the SOI Summit.
