I probably owe you some follow-up 😅 I spent most of September on the road, I'm still sorting through my notes.
Sitting in the airport now trying my best to get out of San Francisco, despite fog delays causing heavily congetsted air space, and even worse delays, I'm thankful for a couple extra hours to catch up on some overdue tasks and to know I am finally, finally headed home! 🏠
Kicked off September Walmart Marketplace Let's Grow Seller Summit - Killer event. Shout out to Maddie Sapigao and team for all of the hardwork putting this event together. This was a rare event where AO2 exhibited, and we already know the ROI is there to return for 2027. Highlight though, was the Guns N Roses concert I snuck off to on the final night!
Create & Cultivate- My first time attending this one, and while I am not yet sure if this will be a repeat event for me or for AO2, it was for sure worth the time. I made so many connections with female-led businesses, both brand and service providers, that got me really excited for the future of women in ecommerce.
Amazon Accelerate - Hosted by the Sell on Amazon, the amazing Marco Mendolia did an amaz9ng job once again and this remains my favorite conference of the year! More on this one later, way too much to pack into a single bullet point.
Seattle to San Francisco down the Pacific Coast Highway - With so many things going on, I thought it would be relaxing to road trip from Seattle to San Fran between events. Refreshing, yes. Relaxing, not so much. It was a beautiful 3 days with 5 hours of driving and over 20K steps daily exploring beaches and trees
Amazon unBoxed - Closed it out this week with another great event from Amazon Ads, another that will need a follow up post later this week. Too many great partners, brands, and updates for this post.
Follow up posts are coming, but if you want to know more about what Iearned at these events, why not join me for AO2's next webinar? Details coming soon!
