GROW NY – What Is It and Why Is it Important for Your E-Commerce Brand
It’s T-minus 4 weeks to GROW NY – the best retail event in the world. And, we’re excited to announce that we’ll be hosting an in-person happy hour to help you grow your e-commerce brand. More details on this below, but first, let’s explore what’s on the agenda at GROW NY this year and learn why you need to secure your ticket to the event ASAP.
In short, GROW NY is two days of growth talks, workshops and food trucks. And the aforementioned happy hour with trendsetting founders, marketers, and online experts.
What is GROW?
What started as a 15-person SLACK group, is now the fastest-growing community of online retail brands, technology providers, investors, and agencies in the world. Greg Ashton, CEO and Founder of GROW, started the online community to bring together groups of people interested in authentic interactions.
Since the pandemic, the desire to meet and connect with like-minded people in-person has become even more urgent. The recent GROW LA day event brought together hundreds of trendsetting founders, e-commerce marketers, and growth experts to share their experiences in creating and scaling multi-million dollar online brands.
Interviews, panels, workshops, and much more. GROW cuts through the noise to ask the most important eCommerce questions – what is working and what needs to be improved across your online touch points? What tactics are you deploying to improve your marketing campaign ROI? What does the future of retail marketing look like for you?
To get answers to these questions and more, book your tickets to GROW NY. The conference runs July 19-20 at the Knockdown Center from 19-20 July.
