What we saw at Shoptalk 2026

  • Meetings drove the event: 1,700 tables and 15-minute meetings set up through the app.
  • The app turned off one-to-one messages to stop spam. In past editions, 70% of meetups were organic.
  • New Tactical Labs gave hands-on content at round tables, so people could take notes.
  • Four themed stages split the content: marketing and media, AI, technology and customer engagement.
  • The best booths ran four or more small activations, such as coffee, demos, games and massage.
  • Attentive gave out custom engraved bags. The line reached four hours at its peak.
