Annual Summit 2011 Homepage

It was another record-breaking year and we couldn't have done it without you....our attendees, speakers, exhibitors, and sponsors.

Thank you. Thank you for making the 2011 Shop.org Annual Summit a great blend of learning, networking, and fun. We hope all attendees were able to walk away inspired and armed with new ideas and key tactics to ensure your retail organization is firing on all cylinders. Most importantly, we hope you all took time to discuss, partner, and network with each other on big picture strategy, tips and best practices across the industry, and implementation of new technology solutions.

Thanks again to everyone who helped make this our best Annual Summit yet. We hope to see everyone in Denver next year!

A year of firsts for Shop.org's Annual Summit.

It was a year of firsts for the Shop.org Annual Summit: our first time in Boston, first mobile app, first live-streaming keynote session, and first time (but definitely not our last) hosting more than 4,000 attendees at digital retail's most influential event. 

If you couldn't make it or just want to refresh the experience, read on  - we've wrapped it all up for you in a nice event recap.
