Meetup

Meetup meetings will take place onsite during Shoptalk Spring 2026 on a dedicated terraced area. All meetings will be scheduled based on everyone’s individual availability during the following times (note that all meetings are pre-scheduled):
  • Tuesday, March 24: 1:30 PM- 2:45 PM 

  • Wednesday, March 25: 12:00 PM - 1:15 PM & 4:20 PM - 5:30 PM 

  • Thursday, March 26: 10:15 AM - 11:30 AM  

There are a few steps to complete before your meetings start onsite:

  • Step 1: Profile Completion. Complete your profile, letting all participants know about you, your organisation and your goals.
  • Step 2: Meeting Selection & Opt-In. Review thousands of profiles and select who you want to meet with–use filters, system generated lists and searches to make it easy. Thousands of other attendees will be doing the same. Then opt-in to the meeting requests you receive.
  • Step 3: Meeting Acceptance & Scheduling. After you review and accept your meetings, we’ll send you calendar invites. The all-important deadlines for each of these stages can be found here in our Meetup Guidelines.

Then, simply join your meetings onsite. And remember, all meetings are double opt-in, guaranteeing you'll only meet people you want to meet who also want to meet you.
Through the Meetup programme, you’ll participate in up to 16 meetings - limited only by your availability and mutual interest.
Every Shoptalk attendee is welcome to participate in Meetup! If you register after February your chances of being selected by your peers are minimized due to the Meetup deadline.
