NRF's a chance to *really* talk shop and help hardworking store teams do what they do best. That's why we designed our booth to be a little oasis in the chaos.     What to expect: - Real Zipline customers from Kate Spade, Aritzia, Helzberg, and more ready to share their experience (seriously, ask them anything). - A look at how 150+ best-in-class brands like Gap, Warby Parker, and Arc'teryx align HQ strategy with field and store execution. - Live demos of Zipline in action, from AI-powered workflows to crystal-clear communications. - A really nice team. And comfy chairs. To eat bagels in. ![DSC02601](https://44709047.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/44709047/hubfs/DSC02601.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=DSC02601.jpg) ![DSC03597](https://44709047.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/44709047/hubfs/DSC03597.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=DSC03597.jpg) ![DSC02423](https://44709047.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/44709047/hubfs/DSC02423.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=DSC02423.jpg) ![DSC03087](https://44709047.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/44709047/hubfs/DSC03087.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=DSC03087.jpg) ![DSC03097](https://44709047.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/44709047/hubfs/DSC03097.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=DSC03097.jpg) ![DSC03084](https://44709047.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/44709047/hubfs/DSC03084.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=DSC03084.jpg) ![DSC03593](https://44709047.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/44709047/hubfs/DSC03593.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=DSC03593.jpg) ![DSC02295](https://44709047.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/44709047/hubfs/DSC02295.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=DSC02295.jpg) ![DSC02276](https://44709047.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/44709047/hubfs/DSC02276.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=DSC02276.jpg) ![DSC03037](https://44709047.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/44709047/hubfs/DSC03037.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=DSC03037.jpg) ## "Zipline's a one-stop shop, it's easy to use, and it allows the best results for our team." ## *- Jade Owens, District Manager at PacSun* Retail leaders love Zipline because strategy syncs with execution across stores. Managers love it because it gives them more time and freedom to engage store teams. Store teams love it because they get clarity and agency to do their best work. And customers love it (but just don't see it) because their in-store experience is consistently excellent.  But don't take it from us.
