RETENTION PANEL: Turning First-Time Buyers into Lifelong Customers

Acquiring a customer is the beginning, not the win. The brands growing most efficiently today are the ones converting first purchases into second, third, and tenth — through better onboarding, smarter lifecycle programs, and loyalty mechanics that actually change behavior. This panel explores what retention looks like in practice: how to identify high-LTV customers early, what keeps people coming back, and where most brands are leaving money on the table after the first sale.

Rethinking Reach: Media Mix and Customer Realignment

The channels that drove growth three years ago aren't the channels driving it today. Paid social costs have risen, search behavior is shifting with AI, and brands are being forced to rethink where and how they reach customers — and which customers are actually worth reaching. This panel examines how leading brands are rebalancing their media mix in real time: where budgets are moving, how customer segmentation is evolving, and what a sustainable acquisition strategy looks like when the old playbook no longer applies.

Director, Delivery, Domaine

Scaling Your Brand on Shopify

‍Learn how leading Shopify brands scale efficiently through conversion-focused design and data-driven growth strategies. In this session, Domaine and Shopify will break down how to structure high-performing product pages, increase average order value with bundles and upsells, and optimize site speed and mobile experience. We’ll also cover how to capture high-intent organic traffic through SEO and build strong retention with email and lifecycle marketing. Walk away with practical frameworks to drive more revenue from both new and returning customers.

In this session, Forkful and Nift will unpack how high-intent discovery moments across the customer journey can become a scalable acquisition lever. You’ll hear what’s worked, what hasn’t, and where performance has improved over time — along with how to diversify your acquisition mix while keeping CPA disciplined and the experience intact.

OPS PANEL: The New Era of Retail Operations

The back end of retail has never been under more pressure. Consumer expectations for speed, flexibility, and transparency have outpaced the infrastructure many brands were built on — and the cost of getting it wrong shows up immediately in returns, reviews, and churn. This panel digs into how operators are modernizing fulfillment, inventory, and logistics in a landscape where margin is thin and execution is everything.
