Anyone going to ShopTalk Chicago this week?

Hey Jim! I’m headed to Shoptalk Chicago if you’d want to try and find a time to meet up :)

Yes @Jim Huffman I just landed, and I definitely want to come and find you!

@Jennifer Yoder great! I had to back out at the end but Emma from our team will be there. And people like her more than me so there you go!

I had her reach out to you.

Yes! We’re working on logistics and just bringing a bunch of people together from some communities. Thanks @Jim Huffman — and I’d love to catch back up with you after, curious how the dashboard tool launch has been going! 😊

Thats great and bummed I am missing out on it.

@Jim Huffman I’m circling back to say a huge thank you for introducing me to Emma, who I’m actually catching back up with this week! She’s wonderful 😊

And, in case she didn’t say, she came along with me to the mini mixer we (Retail Women in Tech) were hosting with PebblePost.

And I think she made some folks stop in their tracks when she shared that GrowthHit was an agency, yes, but also brand owners/operator and approaching being a SaaS vendor too. It’s interesting how the conversation can deepen when context changes in networking, right? 😊

A lot of the other folks I alerted from across my community participation were a lot of partnerships mgrs, who showed up next, a fair amount of retail media folks after that, a few brand people, and some enablement/agency (I mean it was Shoptalk). It was a fascinating mix, definitely not the norm. I hope you all are going as a team to some of the events in the spring! Or I should ask, where do you usually go?
