The Boldest Night in Retail Is Back — Bold Bash 2026!

If you’re going to PLMA, you need to be at Bold Bash.

Bold Bash 2026 is back for its sixth year, bringing together the people who make the Retailer-owned Brand industry move.

On Monday, November 16, just steps from the PLMA Trade Show floor at Joe’s Live Rosemont, retailers, manufacturers, suppliers, solution partners and industry leaders will come together for one of the biggest networking nights of the year.

This isn’t another conference reception.

It’s the place to reconnect with people you know, meet the people you should know, have the conversations you never have enough time for on the show floor, and celebrate an industry that continues to grow and change at an incredible pace.

nd once the networking gets going, Andrew Diehl and The Nightmen take the stage for a night of live rhythm and blues.

If you work in private Brand and you’re in Chicago for PLMA, Bold Bash is the night you don’t want to miss.
