RJO Buying Shows offer a unique blend of professional development, networking and relaxation - making them an essential event for our members. The two and a half day show is packed with various educational sessions designed to enhance your knowledge and skills. These sessions cover industry trends, purchasing strategies and other valuable insights to help you stay competitive. Take advantage of numerous show specials offered exclusively during the event. These deals provide significant savings (especially when stacked with your dividend!) and exclusive product access. Enjoy evening receptions that provide time for socializing and networking with peers, vendors and industry experts. These gatherings are perfect for building relationships in a relaxed environment. There is No Registration Fee - however, your account must be in good standing in order to attend. If your store qualifies, RJO will cover up to three consecutive hotel room nights (minimum yearly purchases must be at or above $50,000.) All educational sessions and RJO social gatherings are open to every member.
