Hear from a lineup of retail, DTC and AI leaders shaping what’s next in commerce. Watch the video to hear more! Join us at #CN2026 in June: https://lnkd.in/dpGmexhE #CommerceNext #RetailLeadership

Feeling energized going into another day at the Women in Retail Leadership Summit! CommerceNext has been a proud partner of Women in Retail Leadership Circle for years, and it's something I hold dear to my heart as I'm taking on the event alongside Jennifer Marlo and Emily Wander. Our communities share the same North Star and I was reminded of that North Star during Kelly Cook, CEO of David's Bridal's keynote on reimagining how we approach leadership. As the CommerceNext team ushers in this new season of change, I'll be keeping in mind what Kelly said. And that is the power of events! If you're here at #WIRLS, I would love to connect!

Everyone is racing to out-AI each other in retail. So what happens when the pendulum swings in the other direction? What's the outcome when a household name as big as Tractor Supply Company doubles down on the human side of it all?! Find out this June at the CommerceNext Growth Show where Kimberley Sweet Gardiner, CMO of Tractor Supply Company sits down with Steve Dennis to unpack how the brand is balancing utility and identity, and technology and the human connection. Because staying deeply human in the age of AI might just be your best bet. 👉 Retailers & brands can apply for the travel program: https://lnkd.in/gfAn9cyw #AI #AItips #CommerceNext #TractorSupplyCompany #AImarketing

50+ retail and ecommerce conferences happen every year. So why do 2,500+ of the sharpest brand-side leaders choose CommerceNext again and again? This year's lineup alone includes Millard 'Mickey' Drexler (Alex Mill / Old Navy / Madewell), Nicole Wegman (Founder & CEO, Ring Concierge), Jason LaRose (CEO, Bombas), Kimberley Sweet Gardiner (CMO, Tractor Supply Company), Amiee Bayer-Thomas (Chief Retail Officer, Ulta Beauty) and Majed Masad (Co-Founder & President, Mejuri). That's not a coincidence. That's what happens when you build a conference by practitioners, for practitioners.

The most valuable conversations don't always happen in the biggest rooms. This week, the CommerceNext Community hosted three fabulous dinners across three cities with our partners SCAYLE Commerce Engine, FedEx, and Seel. From exploring the omnichannel post-purchase experience, to leveraging returns as a CX opportunity, to unpacking AI-driven personalization, it's important to recognize we're all in this together when tackling the future of eCommerce. Here's to convos you didn't know you needed and a community you'll keep coming back to. Thank you to our attendees!

We’re all a bit starved for real human connection in an increasingly digital world. So it makes me happy to see how easy it has been to connect IRL with friends and colleagues in my #OC community face-to-face, and really, over time. Last night, we shared learnings and insights with each at the CommerceNext OC Ecommerce Leaders dinner and this group amazes me with their thoughtful leadership, genuine feedback and eagerness to share. Special thanks to superhosts and partners Laura Huddle, Zach Shiverdaker and Tom Williams at Seel for co-hosting and your candid conversations. We dove into: 🙋🏻♀️How to leverage returns as a #CX opportunity ❤️ Frictionless consumer experiences ✨Distinguishing branded #DTC channels vs marketplaces And we only scratched the surface. Plus, I’m still thinking about everyone’s first concert experiences….. 😆 Thanks everyone! Kerry Konrady at OluKai, Elizabeth Krause at La Jolla Group, Margrethe Biermeyer at Too Faced Cosmetics, Cayla Johnson at Authentic Brands Group, Gary Penn, Kevin Yip at Logitech and Anh Vu-Lieberman at Pixi Inc. Appreciate all that you do. And now that we know how beautiful the panoramic view 🌅can be at Maestro’s, we’re managed to set the bar super high for the next time we meet up! ❤️❤️ #loyalty #retention #digital
