Q1 is a busy time of year for brands and retailers on Amazon. Between putting the finishing touches on your sales targets for the first half of the year, creating a plan to move through any stagnant inventory from Q4, and developing innovative ways to cut costs and optimize your catalog, the new year is the optimal time to make impactful decisions and implement new processes to improve performance.
In this roundup, we have compiled the five events where Feedvisor’s team of Amazon experts will be in Q1. A combination of the industry’s top events and some newer forums, it is our hope that these events provide you with the knowledge and expertise to achieve growth and ROI in 2020.

The highlights and results will be shared during both agenda sessions and offline, bespoke activations and experiences.
Founded in 2015, Shoptalk now brings together a community of more than 8,000 representatives from the retail industry to “create the future of retail.” From enterprise retailers and brands to direct-to-consumer (D2C) disruptors and technology providers like Feedvisor, Shoptalk is a unique gathering of stakeholders.
