Where Retail Leaders Come to Talk Shop - Off the Record
ShopTalk is where the industry gathers. But the best conversations rarely happen in the sessions. They happen over drinks, with the right people, when the pressure's off.
And1 Advisors and Retail Field Report are hosting an intimate evening mixer during ShopTalk for retail, CPG, and commerce media executives who want exactly that. Expect real talk about what's working, what's not, and where the industry is actually headed .
We're adding a twist: March Madness–themed trivia and a bracket-style raffle to keep the energy high and the room buzzing. Think of it as the best suite party at the conference, with a grand prize that's worth sticking around for.
