The World’s Most Effective Retail Meetings Program

Shoptalk’s Meetup program isn’t just the world’s largest retail meeting program—it’s also the world’s most effective meeting program. Fully 95% of meetings result in a follow-up and 96% of meetings participants rate the program as good or great.


Here’s how it works:
✔ You tell us which partners, retailers, brands, tech companies, investors or media decision makers you want to meet.
✔ They tell us they want to meet you.
✔ We schedule your mutually matched, 15-minute meetings in advance.

Yes—it’s that simple to secure the kinds of meetings that might otherwise take weeks of outreach (and a little luck) to lock in.

It’s no surprise that 94% of Shoptalk Spring 2025 attendees rated their networking experience as good or excellent.
