Here's what we have in store for you...

RS Expo Trade Show

The Industry's Largest Trade Show

A key feature of the Retail Shippers Expo is the Trade Show. This is your best chance to get that all-important face time with the carriers, vendors, and suppliers who provide us with the crucial products and services that allow us to build and grow our businesses. In addition to the long-term providers and vendors, exciting NEW products and services will be exhibited and demonstrated (some for the FIRST time). As the industry's largest trade show, the Retail Shippers Expo & Trade Show should be on your list of "Can't Miss" events in 2025.

 

General Session

State-of-The-Industry Address

The State-of-the-Industry General Session is the "official" kick-off for the Retail Shippers Expo. A presentation by RS Associates President Brandon Gale will get the RS Expo started as he shares his view of where we are going as an industry. As part of the General Session, a review of the Expo schedule of events will guide you through the what, when, and where of the event to ensure you take full advantage of the content-packed program.

 

Breakout & Lab Sessions

Expert Training By Industry Leaders

Breakouts, breakouts, and more breakouts! Some of the best "nuggets of knowledge" are picked up during the breakout sessions. These informative classes are presented by bona fide industry subject-matter experts and cover a wide range of topics, ranging from store operations to new profit centers. A long list of highly requested sessions run throughout the event. Plan on attending as many as you can. 

 

Speakers

Voices that educate and inspire

In the past, our Keynote Speakers have varied in industry, profession, and background, to name a few, and it is the combination of these unique insights that add incredible and unparalleled value to the Retail Shippers Expo & Trade Show.

As we get closer to the RS Expo event, we will reveal who our 2025 Keynote Speakers will be!

 

Peer Networking

Share Ideas & Swap Your Best Stories

Arguably one of the most valuable aspects of any industry event is the chance to network with other store owners. It's the one time a year you'll get to be in a room with hundreds of other people that do what you do every day. This is a great opportunity to share success stories about your best profit centers, compare your most ridiculous customer tales and pick the brains of industry veterans so you can repeat their successes in your store. You will leave the event with not only new ideas and new friends, but also a renewed energy and enthusiasm for your business.

 

Point-of-sale Training

Learn how to get the most out of your software

Your Point-of-Sale software is the powerplant that helps you run your business efficiently, accurately, and as profitably as possible. Today's systems are some of the most robust and dynamic of any retail POS systems available. As an owner, you need to know how to take full advantage of everything these powerful tools are designed to do. Industry POS providers PostalMate® and ShipRite™ will provide user training and system update classes throughout the weekend.

2025 RS Expo
Breakout Sessions

RETURNING FOR 2025...

BREAKOUT MASTERY LEVELS

For the 2025 RS Expo, we’re continuing with our three-tiered system to help you easily identify which Breakout Sessions best match your current level of industry expertise!

In the past, we know many attendees have had trouble picking and choosing the right Breakout Sessions to attend. This year, we want to avoid having veteran owners attend sessions that are too basic; and newbies attending classes that are far too advanced.

To help you get the most out of your Expo Experience, we’ve suggested mastery levels for each Breakout Session— identified as any (or all) of the following: BEGINNER, INTERMEDIATE, and ADVANCED.

How it Works...

Which mastery level are you at? You decide!

⦿ Beginner

Covers the basics at an introductory level

You’re new to the topic and looking to build a foundation!

⦿ Intermediate

Explores established industry information, beyond the basics

You’ve got some experience and want to sharpen your skills!

⦿ Advanced

An in-depth review of the core aspects of a given topic

You’re ready to go deeper and refine what you already know!

NOTE: Most classes are suitable for more than one knowledge level. For example, a GREEN and YELLOW circle indicate that this breakout session should be beneficial to both beginners and intermediates—but may be a little too basic for someone who has been in the industry for a long time.)

Packing 101 - Packing Essentials

Find a box in the nearest dumpster, throw your stuff in, slap some duct tape on, mark it "Fragile", then ship it. Simple, right? Wrong. Many Retail Shipping Store operators make a grave mistake in thinking that packaging is simple. But in order to properly prepare your packages to survive the rigors of the transportation network, you must follow very specific carrier rules and the physics of packaging dynamics. This class covers both the science and rules; containers, packaging/cushioning materials and how to use the "right" one for the job, packaging techniques, sealing, carrier rules, and tricks of the trade that will make you a true packaging expert.

NOTE: This class meets the PBC Requirement for PROFESSIONAL PACKING training.

2023 RS Expo
Attendee Testimonials

Andi Smith

The Mailbox Connection

“Expo is always valuable for the knowledge gained, BUT... the knowledge AND comradery gained from mingling with other store owners is PRICELESS. Sometimes those late evening conversations will glean nuggets that you won't find anywhere else!”

Emilie Keene

Palmetto Xpress

“I am a new-ish store (roughly 8 months old) and this was my first Expo. It certainly did not disappoint. From the breakout sessions to the networking opportunities, I brought back so much information that I will most definitely implement. I am confident what I put into practice will bring more volume/sales to my store. This is an event I will earmark for attendance every single year!”

Christel Hays

Oakhurst Business Center

“I have attended many trade shows in my prior career. I could kick myself for waiting 5 years before attending this one for my own business. It totally turned my thinking around, and I am very excited to implement all that I learned. The new friendships that I made will be invaluable. Thank you, RSA!”

Aaron Harrington

The Shipping Depot

“This was our first time going to the Expo, and we were expecting a lot, but it exceeded our greatest expectations! From BootCamp to the FedEx dinner, it was either informative, entertaining or fostered helpful connections. And everyone was very friendly. Worth every penny.”

Lupe Carranza

South Gate Pack N Ship

“I have attended the RS Expo & Trade Show since 2015. It's an excellent opportunity to learn about the latest trends and technologies in the industry that can help improve your shipping efficiency and customer service, network with other retail shippers, and find new vendors to help strengthen my shipping operations.

I always leave the expo with new ideas and strategies to implement in my business. If you are serious about growing your business and improving your shipping operations, then you should make every effort to attend.”

Zain Colombo

Post Boxes Etc.

“The total set up for this Expo and Trade Show was fantastic! This was my first time attending, and I am looking forward to next year's event.”

Pat Osbourne

Packages Plus

“I have always liked this Dallas location because networking is easier. Many wide-open spaces make it easier to have group conversations. I'm not sure that RSA can improve on the content and the continued big wins for us. But as more people sign up for PackageHub, I know that makes their job a lot easier, and the big wins more possible.”

Gary & Heather Davis

Mail & More

“This was our first time attending the conference since purchasing our new store two years ago. The content was super helpful to running our store. Getting away and focusing on professional development proved really valuable for generating new ideas. Direct access to our vendors was immensely valuable. Plus, the conference was first rate. We'll be back!”

Rashida Kachwala

Grand Lakes Postal

“From someone who used to be on the fence about attending the Expo, this is now my second time attending Expo and this is the best investment I have made for my business. What you gain in terms of industry learning, interactions, and networking is worth so much more.

The learning is very wholesome. So many opportunities to figure out things from people who know how to do it and do it right the first time. If you are in the packing, mailing, and shipping business this is a must attend!”

Paul A. Kostecky

Mega Pack and Ship LLC

““The RS Expo, in my mind, along with all other attendees I have spoken to, is a ‘must go to’ event—which is why I attended my second year in a row and will be marking my calendar for the next.

For those that I spoke with that attended, all had overwhelming praising comments to share of their experiences while attending the show. For those that I spoke with that decided not to attend, I have heard some say ‘it is an added expense’ or ‘I don't have the time’ as their reasons for not attending. Please be assured that this event is not an expense, but rather an investment (which should never be confused with each other) towards the long-term success of your store.

The networking with existing vendors, meeting new vendors, learning many known and unknown new tools to add more revenue streams to your business, along with enhancing the current revenue streams already in place—to seeing old and the making of new friends, having the same commonality of being in the Pack and Ship Business Center industry, and much more equates to one of the best investments (also a write off) I make by attending.

I hope to see all of my friends again along with meeting many more new friends at the next RS Expo!”

Philip Wicker

Pack & Mail

“This event is a great way to connect with your fellow store owners and get ideas and best practices for your store. I have been to most, if not all, of the Expos and regional trainings, and have learned something every single time!”

Cesar Carranza

South Gate Pack N Ship

“I had a wonderful and exciting experience at the Retail Shipping Expo! The gathering with fellow store owners was precious, and the tremendous networking environment blew me away. The Expo was a fantastic opportunity to connect with like-minded business owners and learn from some of the most innovative minds in the industry. I left feeling inspired, motivated, and armed with a wealth of knowledge that I can use to take my business to the next level. I highly recommend the retail shipping expo to anyone looking to grow their mailbox shipping business and connect with other passionate entrepreneurs.”
