The last two years have been a wild ride for many reasons. The pandemic alone is responsible for an enormous, world-wide disruption of HOW we live our lives. I realized the way my own perspective had been changed by the pandemic when while watching a movie (on my computer) a year ago, I was shocked to see two characters standing RIGHT NEXT to each other. 

Thankfully we’ve moved past that point, (hopefully for good). Everywhere I see signs of social renewal and a kind of collective reset. 

eCommerce Sellers Have Had a Challenging 24 Months

It’s hard to pick one industry or group of people that’s been most affected by the restrictions made necessary by the pandemic. Still, I think that entrepreneurs and eCommerce sellers might have to be close to the top of the list. 

Entrepreneurs tend to live an isolated professional life. Many Amazon sellers work from home with only a computer screen to keep them company. eCommerce sellers haven’t only had to endure the pandemic, they’ve also had to deal with a series of supply chain disruptions that were compounded by the effects of the virus. 

For both eCommerce sellers and entrepreneurs, they’ve also had to do without the one thing that not only helped create community, it also serves as continuing education for the large numbers of people trying to solve a problem, or get to the next level. 

I’m talking about Amazon seller conferences. 

A Return to Amazon Seller Conferences

Amazon seller conferences are a great way to level up your eCommerce game. The meetups, the lectures and other related events really help create an entrepreneurial “hive mind.” Amazon seller conferences allow you to benefit from the collective wisdom and experience of the MANY Amazon sellers that have come before. These focused meetups are a great place to not only find the answers you’ve been looking for, eCommerce conferences help you to understand how to come up with the right questions in the first place.

Whether you are a long-time high-volume Amazon seller or brand new to the Amazon-selling game, Amazon seller conferences are one of the very best ways to hit the ground running. 

Sure, eCommerce sellers can take advantage of platforms such as podcasts and Facebook groups, but there’s something special, (and so much more effective) about sharing tips and strategies in person. 

You’ll often hear veteran Amazon sellers claim that more problems are solved and deals made while waiting in line for a spirited adult beverage. That’s not going to happen online! 

Networking, problem solving, real-life vendor advice and partnership opportunities are just a few of the things that can happen when you sign up for an eCommerce conference. 

CANOPY’s Top eCommerce Conferences for 2022

With that in mind, the CANOPY Management team wanted to offer this partial list of some of our favorite eCommerce conferences for 2022. We haven’t forgotten the premier Amazon conferences that kick off the new year such as the Prosper Show in Las Vegas. For this post we’re concentrating on the top conferences from now till the end of 2022. 

Here’s our list:

Ecom Brand Builder Summit 2022

Ecom Brand Builders says that this event will allow attendees to “Learn from industry experts to accelerate your e-commerce brand with advanced strategies, techniques, and resources.” 

The online conference features speakers such as CANOPY Management’s PPC wizard, Brian R. Johnson, Seller Systems’ Brandon Young, the Write Buzz’ Anthony Lee, and industry pros Kian Golzari, Destaney Wishon, Lazar Zepinic, and Mina Elias. 

This is one eCommerce meeting of the minds that you do not want to miss. 

Seller’s Summit 2022

The people behind the 2022 Sellers Summit say that “(they) wouldn’t call the Sellers Summit a conference. It’s more like an intense 2 day ecommerce workshop.” 

They go on to say that “Because the Sellers Summit is a “workshop” based event, you will have the opportunity to test all of the strategies you learn and ask questions DURING the conference itself.”

This conference offers two separate tracks: one for Amazon sellers and one for independent ecommerce brands. Special “mastermind meetings” are available for sellers who make over $250K or $1 million in revenue.

E-Commerce Berlin B2B Expo & Conference

B2B Expo & Conference for eCommerce service providers features 200 exhibitors, 50 speakers and networking among more than 8000 participants. The Expo’s promotors say that “In addition to the obvious advantages like establishing business relationships and closing new deals, you have the chance to win valuable prizes. The main prize is the ability to conduct a presentation at the event!”

Seller Sessions – London

Seller Sessions says that since Live 2021 was such a success, they want to go bigger and focus not just on bringing in the best 7 & 8 figure sellers but also look at the production side of the event to create another unforgettable experience.

Speakers include Ivelin Demirov, Tim Jordan, and Destaney Wishon. 

Ivelin Demirov is the owner of over 100 patents, runs the Facebook Orange Hat Marketing group, and is the founder of Amazon machine learning software, River Cleaner. Tim Jordan is an Amazon private label expert, a consultant to a number of eCommerce-focused companies, and the host of the AM/PM podcast. Destaney Wishon is an entrepreneur, Amazon advertising expert and Co-Founder of BetterAMS. 

Retail Innovation Conference

Cutting-edge technology. Expert speakers. Influential attendees. Invaluable networking opportunities. The Retail Innovation Conference says “The ideas and insights you need to reimagine retail are at the #RICE22. Join retail executives in omnichannel strategy, ecommerce, digital marketing and store design to learn how you can turn the latest industry disruptions into new commerce opportunities.”

Amazon Sellers Event/Meetup ASGTG

ASGTG started as a simple idea and quickly exploded into a group sourcing for all Amazon selling issues. Attendees will have access to a full day of content in the main room, including seminars, keynote speakers and discussions by leaders in the E-commerce field. A second room will provide an all-day lavish gourmet catered buffet lunch and dinner, sponsorship booths, as well as more valuable networking opportunities.

White Label Expo – Las Vegas

Packed with event features to grow your business potential, the White Label World Expo – Las Vegas will set its agenda to cover nearly all of the retail, ecommerce, and selling/supplying industries. Multiple summits, specialized co-located events, and networking and investment opportunities are abundant when attending the White Label World Expo.

The White Label World Expo is setting itself as the forefront of educating and showcasing organizations and businesses at the heart of ecommerce, retail, and environmentally sustainable innovations to take entrepreneurship to the next level.

CRMC

Well over half of Fortune 500 Retail Brands have presented at CRMC during their 29-year history. Expect to hear from an impressive list of 20 Brands each and every year. Touching on a variety of high-level, strategic topics such as the future of retail, the in-store experience, the economy, and much more.

Group discussions, meetups, roundtables, table topics and workshops; plus breaks, dinner, lunches, and receptions provide ample opportunities to make valuable new contacts.

E-Com Events

This event helps sellers on Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and more learn what’s changing in the world of eCommerce, new tactics to market their businesses, rules of selling through these different platforms, and how to grow their businesses. The event brings in a wide range of experience from sellers who are just testing the water to seasoned sellers. 

Don’t miss the chance to grow your business and your network.

BDSS – Billion Dollar Seller Summit

Billion Dollar Seller Summit says that “No fancy website is needed to promote the event. It’s better to spend money making sure you get the most value possible from attending. If you know Kevin King, you know his BDSS events bring it with A+++ content that can make a huge difference in your Amazon business.” 

MDS Summit

Initially called the 50k+ group, Million Dollar Sellers (MDS) quickly evolved into a powerhouse community. Gaining traction with more and more successful 7-figure sellers, it became known as a leading group with vetted, full-time, and proven Amazon sellers striving to forge their way on a rapidly growing marketplace that offered no roadmap or guidance.

Their mission forward is simple: bring together the smartest, most supportive, fastest-growing eCommerce sellers that share the same core values. Currently, they represent over 5 billion in sales in 2020, across nearly 500 members. Their goal to continue to be the strongest community of thought leaders and proven eCommerce entrepreneurs in the entire industry.

Traffic & Conversion Summit

Traffic & Conversion Summit is 3 full days of actionable, proven, strategic content from experts (and a few celebrities) that have been in your shoes and have turned their businesses into juggernauts.

There is no “conceptual thought” or “theoretical strategies” behind any of these sessions. Everything you hear at Traffic & Conversion Summit are tested, proven tactics to increase traffic, conversions, and sales.

You’ll leave the convention center on Day 3 with notebooks full of actionable growth strategies that you can apply immediately.
