Shoptalk is arguably the most exciting and informative retail conference out there. It's an annual gathering of industry insiders and thought leaders that, in it's fourth year, hasn't lost its youthful energy.

The 8,000 attendees at Shoptalk this year got to hear from a lot of executives, founders and industry specialists, all offering varying degrees of candor in diverse areas of expertise.

Shoptalk, the retail and e-commerce mega conference that launched in 2016...has become a major player in the space.

Thousands of retail and technology workers descended on Las Vegas last week for an annual industry gathering known as Shoptalk.

Last week, the 2019 Shoptalk conference featured one of its best speaker lineups and attendance to date. Over 8,000 e-commerce professionals gathered to hear presentations from 185 retail and e-commerce experts about trends and technologies impacting the industry.
