Shoptalk’s Annual Retail Education Certificate

Our Annual Retail Education Certificate is awarded each year to every individual who completes at least 10 credits of approved continuing education at Shoptalk. Over 2,000 or 25% of attendees earn their Annual Retail Education Certificate each year at Shoptalk.

Credits are earned onsite during the event by attending our track and keynote sessions – credits can also be earned through Tabletalks (interactive peer group discussions among retailers and brands) and through our Hosted Retailers & Brands Program (meetings with tech company executives). Credits will be awarded for these different types of onsite learning as follows:

Continuing Education Credits
Track Sessions 1.0 credit (40 min)
Classroom Sessions 0.5 credit (20 min)
Main Stage Sessions 0.5 credit (20 min)
Tabletalks * 1.0 credit per Tabletalk
Hosted Retailers & Brands Program * 0.5 credits per hour (4 meetings)

* Retailers and brands only

The Annual Retail Education Certificate helps recipients distinguish themselves at a time when there is a significant divide in retail industry professionals’ knowledge of digital innovation. Any attendee can qualify for an Annual Retail Education Certificate and we’re working directly with employers to help teams across their organizations participate in the annual certificate program.

Anyone with a Certificate ID can verify an Annual Retail Education Certificate.
