| What our Members have to say... | | "By the members, for the members" isn't just our mantra at Shop.org - it's how we operate. And since we think what our members have to say about us is more important than what we have to say about ourselves, it's also how we advertise. | | | Richard E. Last, VP and Director, New Business Development, jcp.com, JCPenney | "Shop.org is the world’s leading membership community for digital retail. We are a unique community of thought leaders, innovators, and practitioners. Our events are unsurpassed in the industry, including our intimate Workshops, our Strategy and Innovation Forum, and our Annual Summit (which is the number one industry event.) With the addition of our new Shop.org website, regional events, committees, and Special Interest Groups, the opportunities for members to be part of a networked and engaged community are endless. The knowledge gained through the SORO research, the networking, and the events has played a significant role in building jcp.com into a leading Apparel and Home Furnishings website." | | Pinny Gniwisch, Founder & EVP, Marketing, Ice.com | "As a frequenter of internet and marketing conferences the shop.org annual summit is by far the most informative and content rich conferences around." | | Sam Taylor, CEO, Oriental Trading Company | "The Shop.org experience and community have been invaluable to my career progression over the past eight years." | | David Bolotsky, Founder and CEO, UncommonGoods | "The Shop.org regional dinners represent a great opportunity to meet and learn from other online retailers facing similar opportunities and challenges.

I highly recommend them!" | | Paul Zaengle, Sr. Director, Ecommerce, Columbia Sportswear | "I consider Shop.org my lifeline to the industry – my daily SmartBrief, my peer contacts, the ideas that come out of attending the conferences, and more." | | Troy Brown, Retail Practice Leader, Demandware | "The shop.org community has helped me in more ways than I can count. The learning opportunities are endless, but the most special thing for me has been the network of peers and colleagues with whom I can collaborate on common challenges. A business card exchange turns into a phone call turns into a valued business partner and friend." | | Brett A. Hurt, Founder and CEO, Bazaarvoice | "Shop.org has made an amazing impact on the success of my companies and entrepreneurial career.
