Shop.org Events: The Community, Connected
There is no better way to participate in the Shop.org Community than at our events. Uniquely programmed with peer roundtables, one-on-one discussions and rich networking opportunities around progressive content, Shop.org Events are organized entirely to be a productive use of your time out of the office. They give you plenty to talk about, and the right people to engage in conversation.
Our Events are open to Shop.org Members and Non-Members alike. Most non-members who attend ultimately join Shop.org, and almost all attendees would recommend Shop.org Events to a colleague.
Members and Non-Members are also invited to Sponsor or Exhibit at Shop.org Events, and also to Speak at Shop.org Events.
Don't take our word for it - hear what your colleagues from Harry & David, Ashford.com, Playboy, International Spy Museum, Adidas, BazaarVoice and others say about Shop.org events:
Which Events to Attend?
• Start with the Annual Summit. It is held each fall and it is the one conference we produce for the entire digital retail community: Senior Management, Marketers, Merchants and Solution Providers. The keynotes here provide big-picture vision relevant to anyone in the industry, and our concurrent sessions are broken into Strategic and Tactical tracks to better match all attendees’ expectations and functional responsibilities. With 2500 attendees and 160 exhibitors, it’s our biggest show. But we work hard to maintain the familiarity and accessibility Shop.org events are known for.
• Innovate, powered by Shop.org and RAMA, is an exciting new event that combines Shop.org’s Strategy and Innovation Conference and RAMA's Retail Advertising Conference (RAC) into one inclusive event. Strategists from retail marketing and advertising will collaborate join forces with their counterparts in the ecommerce realm to maximize sustained profitability in this new multi-channel environment. The inaugural conference will take place March 8-10, 2011 at the Concourse Exhibition Center in San Francisco, CA.
• Our Workshops are intimate, tactical and rich with actionable data and advice. Limited to an audience of 250 retailer-only plus sponsors, the workshops retain a 4:1 ratio of retailers to non-retailers.
The annual Online Marketing Workshop has morphed into Online Marketing Month. A series of Shop.org-produced marketing-specific activities available online. An entire month for marketers to get the tactics, data and insight they need.
Each summer we host the Online Merchandising Workshop, designed expressly for retailer professionals charged with lifting conversion rates, average order values and customer loyalty.
• We also host retailer-only Regional Dinners for our members and guests – the perfect pairing of exquisite cuisine with candid conversation, in a relaxed evening environment.
• Members are encouraged to sign up for our Members-Only Webinar Series - a one-hour webinar featuring industry expert speakers on a number of timely topics.
• The Global eCommerce Summit, produced jointly by Shop.org and EMOTA, provides an essential perspective on digital retail’s global implications and opportunities. First-hand accounts from leading international retailers will provide the backdrop for networking and rich conversation on regional strategies, cultural nuances, and consumer trends worldwide.
