Modern Retail Marketing Summit 2026
Digiday Media
Gain actionable strategies for building a tech-driven eCommerce marketing operation at the Modern Retail Marketing Summit, a three-day event at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach, CA.
The Modern Retail Marketing Summit is built for brand and retail leaders who need clear, workable answers in a fast-changing landscape—not crystal balls.
Over three focused days in Huntington Beach, the program blends candid fireside conversations with hands-on collaboration formats that surface solutions you can take straight back to your team.
If you attend, you will:
- Learn how top brands are navigating the shifting mix of channels, creators, and commerce—what’s working now, what to pause, and where to double down.
- Pressure-test your roadmap in the Summit’s Challenge Board and Working Groups, designed to share pain points and trade practical fixes with peers.
- Get operator-level insight on measurement that matters: incrementality, brand + performance balance, and how to brief leadership on outcomes—not vanity metrics.
- Compare approaches to retail media, social + creator spend, and on-site conversion—so your eCommerce, media, and CX plans work together rather than in silos.
- Build high-value connections with marketers facing the same constraints you are (budgets, timelines, and headcount), in a setting optimized for real conversations over sales pitches.
Hosted at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach, the 2026 edition keeps the agenda tight: fireside chats for signal, small-group work for application, and plenty of white-space for targeted networking. Expect a pragmatic tone and sessions led by practitioners who share playbooks, pitfalls, and the context behind the numbers.
Whether you own brand, growth, or eCommerce, you’ll leave with sharper messaging, smarter channel allocation, and a clearer plan for your next quarter—grounded in what peers are actually doing today.
