Yesterday, I received the most recent registration report for Shop.org’s flagship event, our Annual Summit, Sept. 21-23 in Las Vegas. Remarkably and despite the recession, it looks like it’s going to be our biggest Summit ever.
This says two things to me. First, it reinforces the idea that online retail is resilient in the face of this recession. Secondly, there is no question that, right now, online is the bright spot in retail.
Not only do we expect more people than ever before, but we will have more:
- Retail brands represented
- Retailers bringing teams
- Speakers
- Doctors (for 1-on-1 consulting visits)
- Keynotes
- C-level speakers
- Guided EXPO Hall Tours (with the addition of white glove tours)
- Big !deas Sessions
I’d like to believe that the Summit’s success is due to the impressive elements mentioned above - in addition to the strong reputation of this event as the place to be for the digital retail community. Of course, hotel rates of $79 per night, some of the lowest airfares we’ve seen recently and team pricing, also make a big difference.
Whether they’re looking for new ideas to make more money next week, the latest cutting edge ideas to fuel their next innovation or a year’s worth of e-commerce learning in one day at our boot camp, I’m excited to see so many members of the digital retail community make the choice to come to the Summit and push their business forward.
If you’re aren’t yet registered for the Summit, what are you waiting for?
