Why Sponsor Ignite 2024?

In 2023, we nearly doubled retailer registrations from previous years. This success was due to more valuable sessions, improved product offerings, and a more accessible conference location. With Ignite 2024, we anticipate even higher attendance numbers than last year.

Continuous Improvement

We’re committed to making each Ignite experience more valuable than the last. We gather insights from sponsors, customers, and employees through pre- and post-conference surveys. These insights help us identify areas for growth and improvement.

For Ignite 2024, we’re focusing on session value, product lab availability, and attendee networking. We’ve added or enhanced several conference details this year to improve attendee and sponsor experience:

Gamify Booth Traffic: Increase sponsor engagement.
Sponsor-led Raffles: Present at the Awards Ceremony.
Increased dedicated Product Lab time: More time for attendees to explore.
Larger Product Lab: More space for sponsors & product offerings for an immersive experience.

By sponsoring Ignite 2024, your business will gain visibility and engagement with a growing audience in the retail industry. Join us in shaping the future of retail at Ignite 2024!
