Nashville e-commerce event promises 500 sellers and 40-plus experts over five days

Organizers of an e-commerce and AI conference set for April 8-12 at Nashville's Grand Hyatt say the event will bring together more than 500 sellers and over 40 hand-picked speakers, with programming built around AI strategy and marketplace operations.

The format emphasizes working sessions over keynotes. An Oracle Bar lets attendees sit down with experienced operators to troubleshoot real business problems on their own laptops. A Creators Meet Sellers program arranges structured meetings with more than 100 pre-vetted TikTok creators, many driving millions in gross merchandise value, aimed at brands in beauty, supplements, home and other fast-moving categories.

More than 25 small-group roundtables with speakers and veteran sellers are planned, and content is split into tracks for different business stages, from startups to sellers stuck at $1 million to operators running $50 million, with a separate stage for advanced material. Session topics span AI tools, answer engine optimization, supply chain management, protecting brands, choosing products, UGC programs, optimizing for marketplace assistants, exit planning, advanced PPC, outside traffic and listing conversion.

Three ticket tiers are offered. Gold at $497 targets beginners and sellers under $500,000 in revenue and covers the main stage, parties, roundtables and the exhibitor market from April 8-11, with fewer than 164 spots reported remaining. Platinum at $1,497, aimed at $500,000 to $3 million sellers, adds the advanced stage, creator matchmaking, networking lunches, replays and AI session summaries through April 12, with fewer than 92 spots. Diamond at $2,997, for operators at $3 million and above, adds a VIP lounge, a speaker dinner, extra sessions, a mastermind, a hack contest and an adventure day, running April 8-13 with fewer than 36 spots. The median Diamond attendee runs a $7.5 million-a-year business, according to organizers.

Evening events include a rooftop gathering, a cigar night at a speakeasy and an exhibitor hall styled after an Asian night market. The venue caps attendance around 500, and organizers say discounted hotel rates are available upon registration.
