E-commerce conference in Nashville to host 500 sellers, 100 creators and 51 speakers

An e-commerce and AI conference scheduled for April 8-12 at the Grand Hyatt in Nashville is expected to draw more than 500 sellers, over 100 content creators and 51 speakers, according to its organizers.

The event is aimed at Amazon and direct-to-consumer operators and combines keynote sessions with structured networking. Among the formats announced is an Oracle Bar, styled after a tech support counter, where attendees bring a laptop and a specific business problem and get one-on-one help from an operator who has solved it before.

A matchmaking session called Creators Meet Sellers will seat brands across the table from more than 100 pre-vetted TikTok creators, many generating millions of dollars in gross merchandise value. The format is pitched at sellers in beauty, supplements, home goods and other categories where creator-driven sales are growing fastest.

Organizers also plan more than 25 small-group roundtables with speakers and veteran sellers, plus separate tracks for businesses at different stages, from new sellers to those running tens of millions in annual revenue. A second stage is reserved for higher-tier attendees with more advanced sessions.

The speaker roster, described by organizers as heavily weighted toward operators still actively selling, covers AI tools, Google and YouTube advertising, Amazon PPC, Shopify expansion, product selection, supply chain, brand protection, user-generated content systems, answer engine optimization, outside traffic, listing conversion and exit planning.

Tickets are sold in three tiers. Gold, at $497, covers the main stage, parties, roundtables and the exhibitor market from April 8-11. Platinum, at $1,497, adds the advanced stage, creator matchmaking, networking lunches, video replays and AI-generated session summaries through April 12. Diamond, at $2,997, adds a VIP lounge, a dinner with speakers, extra sessions, a mastermind, a hack contest and an adventure day on April 12. Organizers say the median Diamond attendee runs a $7.5 million-per-year business.

Evening programming includes a rooftop party, a cigar night at a Nashville speakeasy and an exhibitor area styled after an Asian night market. Organizers have capped the venue at roughly 500 attendees and report limited spots remaining in each tier, with discounted hotel rates available after registration.
