How to Choose the Right Conference
Before buying a ticket, decide what result would make the trip worthwhile:
- Amazon account and program access: Start with Amazon Accelerate.
- Marketplace seller tactics and service providers: Prosper is the clearest fit.
- Retail and brand partnerships: Consider NRF or Shoptalk.
- Grocery and CPG: Groceryshop is the specialized option.
- European expansion: eCommerce Expo or Shoptalk Europe may be more relevant.
Schedule meetings before you arrive, review the agenda against your current bottleneck, and leave room for operator conversations outside the sessions.
If inventory preparation is slowing your marketplace growth, review Rocket's Amazon FBA prep services and Walmart WFS prep before your next launch or conference-driven sales push.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which conference is best for Amazon sellers?
Amazon Accelerate is best for direct access to Amazon teams and programs. Prosper Show is especially relevant for established marketplace sellers who want operator education, networking, and service-provider access.
Are these conference dates confirmed?
The dates listed were confirmed on official event websites on August 24, 2026. Event organizers can still change schedules or venues, so verify details before booking travel.
Should a newer seller attend a large conference?
Only if the agenda addresses a real near-term need. Early-stage sellers may get more value first from official training, seller communities, and focused operational work than from an expensive trip.
How far in advance should sellers plan inventory around an event?
Plan backward from any promotion, launch, or partnership meeting. Allow time for supplier production, inbound transportation, prep, inspection, marketplace appointments, and contingency stock.
