Every year we evaluate and sponsor the best eCommerce and fulfillment trade shows. Here are the trade shows you can find IDS at in 2020!

SHOPTALK – Las Vegas, Nevada – March 22-25, 2020
Shoptalk is where the entire retail ecosystem comes together to create the future of retail based on the latest trends, technologies and business models, including changes in consumer expectations. (excerpt from shoptalk.com). With over 8,000 attendees from established retail and eCommerce brands, start ups, and the industry this is a huge show with a massive amount of value. What makes shoptalk unique is its emphasis on conversations and relationships vs lead generation and sales. They have a lot of opportunities and programs that foster deep conversations that really make this show stand out from the pack.

2020 will be a unique year as all of the shows 185+ speakers are women from the industry and Shoptalk is leading the charge in empowerment by being one of the first shows to have an all female list of speakers for the year. IDS will have a booth at Shoptalk’s trade show again this year and hope to see you there! Click to visit Shoptalk

SUBSUMMIT – Dallas, Texas – May 27-29, 2020
SubSummit is the only eCommerce trade show in the US dedicated to the subscription industry. 2020 is the 5th year for this show and the third year IDS is attending. SubSummit started small but has quickly grown in parallel with the exploding subscription industry. Boasting over 100 speakers from the industry and seeing a 40% growth in attendance year over year, this is one of THE shows to be at. Great speakers, great events, this show is unique in how it engages its attendees with a fun and exciting environment.

Home Delivery World is a fulfillment trade show with a narrow focus. This show is 100% about the logistics of the retail industry.

Over 5,000 attendees, 500 speakers, and over 300 exhibitors attend this show and mean there is something here for everyone.

RETAILX – Chicago, Illinois – June 9-11, 2020
