Our team tries to stay away from the type of events that feel like 'LinkedIn in person.' Ecom Founders events are truly social first - people are here to have fun, not for surface-level networking. That leads to REAL customer relationships.
Unlike other conferences that talk about surface level content and tactics that are regularly shared on socials, Ecom Founders Events go deep. By focusing on 1:1 conversations between operators who work together the 45+ minute conversations offer an unparalleled level of depth and insight. The best part is the last 15 minutes of each conversation including the Q&A where founders and operators give unique key, actionable ways scale DTC brands. This is the best content of any DTC conference I've attended - As a scaling brand this is a MUST attend event. That's no BS - I stand by it.

What separates Ecom Founders events is that the crowd is full of actual brand operators - they really keep it “brands only.” No sea of agency people and other vendors - so my team was able to spark a bunch of new relationships that let to big new accounts for us.
"Thanks again for putting on such a great show. Pretty incredible what you guys have created."

I went to the eCom Founders ShopTalk event and had a blast. So many industry minds gathered for a great time with intelligent conversations.”
"The curation is what sets this apart. People actually wanted to talk, not just network for the sake of it. We left with real pipeline and relationships that stuck."

What our Attendees are Saying
The Ecom Al Summit at Webster Hall was packed with inspirational energy, practical tips, and real talk. It was refreshing to meet this community
Vijayanthi Vadrev
Founder & CEO
Came specifically to see Hudson from Comfrt speak and ended up staying for every single session. That never happens to me at these things.
Marcus Chen
CEO & Co-Founder
Someone literally vibe coded an app live on stage. Where else are you seeing that? This isn't your typical ecom event.
Sarah Hollis
VP of Growth
No distractions, just great panels and good energy in the room. You could tell everyone actually wanted to be there.
David Okafor
Founder & CEO
My third Ecom Founders event and I already have my ticket for the next one. It keeps getting better.
Rachel Mendes
Director of Ecommerce
The energy was crazy. They gave away so much stuff, the panels were stacked, and I left with like 15 new contacts I actually talk to now.
James Whitfield
Co-Founder & COO
I've done Shoptalk, SubSummit, all of them. This one just hits different. The room is smaller so you actually meet people instead of wandering around a convention center.
Priya Kapoor
CMO
Brought my head of growth expecting a standard conference. She said it was the most useful day she's had all year. We're both coming back.
Tyler Brooks
Founder
Honestly wasn't sure what to expect but the vibe was so good. Great panels, great people, and they somehow made networking feel natural instead of forced.

Just attended the Q4 Summit and wow! 🚀 The insights on AI-driven ecommerce strategies were game-changing. Already implementing what I learned. Best investment this year! #EcommerceSummit
The Ecom AI Summit exceeded all expectations. The networking opportunities alone were worth the ticket price. Connected with industry leaders and came away with actionable strategies that we're already implementing. Highly recommend for anyone serious about ecommerce.
