Retail Innovation Conference & Expo aggregated professionals together at Chicago’s McCormick Center on May 10-12, 2022. Lecangs was thrilled to meet representatives from 230 other companies and organizations from across the country and foreign countries, view specialized exhibits and product unveilings, learn about the newest innovations in RICE and talk about business decisions.  

Lecangs was so proud of our team that came to put this event together and make more than 50 connections. Though this year’s show is smaller than the previous years, the exhibitors show their biggest sincerity in reaching out to corporations. This year’s supply chain crisis is still rising; all the fulfillment companies face the same kind of issue. The fact that the east and west coast both have tons of backlog while containerships wait for a longer time pushes us to find allies to go through the crisis together. We did see that in this year’s RICE. 

The trade show floor and educational opportunities have been fully attended each day. We valued this top-notch experience as we returned to fully in-person events. It was our first-time attending RICE, though; we were glad to see our old friends again and be able to make some new connections. “During the first day, we had more than 15 qualified leads. I have collected a pile of business cards given by providers. I enjoy talking to people, definitely want to have more opportunities like this,” said Bernie, our sales representative. 

We also got a lot of positive feedback on our advantages in the fulfillment business from our visitors. Lecangs’s global strategy is the key point to our visitors. Our 1.2 M SQ FT warehouse in Southern California, locations in Texas and Florida, 30 days of free warehouse space for drip shipping eCommerce businesses, and customized fulfillment solutions interested our visitors the most. We appreciate the visitors who have overviewed our profile on the RICE app and directly shown their interest in outsourcing with us. Lecangs looks forward to keeping in touch with them and maintaining good performance in the next event.

It was a great time in Chicago. We may see you again at RICE in Chicago next year. The next expo we will attend is White Label World Expo, located in Las Vegas Convention Center, May 25-26, 2022. Don’t miss the chance to meet with Lecangs in Vegas. We will have a customized fulfillment discount for you there. Engage with us on Twitter, Facebook, IG, and  LinkedIn so you won’t miss any event-related news!
