Here’s What You Can Expect from this Year’s Conference
The past few months have been a whirlwind, nothing short of bewildering– but that isn’t stopping us from offering attendees a value-packed, educational, and collaborative conference experience. We’ve got a few tricks up our sleeve that will ensure you walk away from this year’s event with more knowledge, networking, and leadership skills than ever before.

Don’t wait! Passes are flying off the shelves. Register today to reserve your spot at Success Workshop Day.
Dynamic Breakout Sessions
Moving to a digital platform enables us to distribute content in ways we never have before. This year, we’ll tackle a wide variety of topics through on-demand sessions, panels, and live Q&As. Breakout sessions are divided into three separate tracks, so attendees can be strategic in selecting the sessions built just for them:
- HOW Track: This track is intended for IT Professionals and Managers who are more “hands-on” with the CATAPULT system.
- WHY Track: This track is intended for C-Level Executives and Decision Makers looking to understand why implementing these modules is beneficial for their business
- TREND Track: Sessions in this track focus on industry trends and how retailers can stay ahead of the curve.
Retailers who attend Ignite 2020 will have the opportunity to receive instruction and insight from CATAPULT® gurus and industry experts who command mastery over the topics they teach. If you want to make your enterprise more efficient and take your store operations to the next level, these breakout sessions will help you reach your goals.
New! Ignite 2020 Mobile App & Schedule Builder
This year we’re spicing things up a bit with a new Ignite mobile app! This new mobile format replaces the traditional conference booklet and offers many powerful features, including:
