Be Our Guest at Code Commerce

For retailers, flux is the new business as usual.

Emerging technologies are disrupting every aspect of the retail sector — from logistics to in-store experiences to marketing strategies — and shaping consumer expectations accordingly.

For a new generation of shoppers, two-day delivery and free returns are the baseline. Consumers are not just discovering clothes through Instagram, but shampoo and toothbrushes, too.

This year at Code Commerce, we’re convening a select community of 50 C-suite brand and retail executives like yourself to be our guests.

We’ll discuss how startups and traditional retailers alike are:

  • Experimenting with new business models for the marketing and sale of groceries and consumer packaged goods
  • Honing the logistics of same-day delivery for everything from meals to high fashion
  • Investing in new technologies like AR, AI and voice to shape tomorrow’s shopping experience
  • Transforming physical stores into experiences that don’t just sell but inspire
  • Building niche, profitable brands that are thriving in the shadow of Amazon

Recode’s Jason Del Rey is here to ask the hard questions about what these changes mean for you and your business.

We’re also bringing back the popular On-Location Experiences — your opportunity to engage firsthand with how the most innovative retail businesses have built their same-day delivery hubs, showrooms and more.

We’ll be integrating small-group networking opportunities around niche topics to give you more chances to engage with your smartest peers from top retailers, digital-native brands, CPG giants and payments firms.

As part of our inaugural Brands and Retailers cohort, you will receive a complimentary registration for Code Commerce (a $1,350 value), and you will be invited to attend a private dinner hosted by Recode and PayPal.

Speakers

We’ll be announcing more speakers in the coming weeks, so please check back for the latest.
