The Ignite Retail Success Conference has grown by leaps and bounds in the last five years, but the vision for the conference has never changed: Ignite was designed to bring together forward-thinking retail leaders so that, working together, they can traverse today’s competitive retail landscape, overcome competition, and maximize success.
Each session, workshop, keynote, and panel at Ignite 2019 was developed with this vision in mind. 2019 will be our largest Ignite event to date, and with the buzz surrounding the conference, spots for Ignite have been filling up faster than ever before. ECRS Success Workshop Day, held a day prior to the main conference, has already reached full capacity for 2019.
If you wanted to sign up for Success Workshop Day but missed your chance, don’t despair!
We hear you! We are aware that with a limited capacity, not everyone could beat the crowd. With this in mind, we’re striving to make certain that every opportunity we offer during the main conference offers more input, more personalization, more knowledge, and more value than ever before. We’re committed to ensuring that your attendance at the main conference is time well spent.

4. New Networking Opportunities and FUN!
One of the things that retailers have enjoyed most about the more intimate setting of Success Workshop Day: the opportunity to connect with colleagues and forge new professional relationships. We’re making sure we provide more opportunities for networking during main conference events this year.
Cocktail Reception
We’ll kick off the conference with a Welcome Cocktail Reception on Monday evening where you’ll have two hours to talk with other attendees, share stories, sip drinks, and strengthen relationships with industry associates and ECRS staff.
Conference Party
Join us at the historic Mercy Lounge for the Conference Party on Tuesday, July 30, from 5:30pm to 9pm. We’re opting for a warm, easy-going event where retailers can relax and mingle, free of distraction and interruption. We will also be sharing a toast to three decades of success as we celebrate ECRS’ 30th anniversary.
Closing Event
After the Awards Ceremony, we invite you to join us for our Closing Event. Attendees will be able to partake in a whiskey tasting and tour at the famous Corsair Distillery! Whiskey not your thing? Take a tour of the Jackalope Brewing Company and try out a few of their mythical beers.
