Discover The Retail Success Summit Experience

From 8:30 in the morning to 5:30 at night, you’ll be immersed in best-in-class training for independent retailers. Sure, we’ll give you some breaks so your brain doesn’t melt, but come ready to expand your mind!

You’ll have the opportunity to choose amazing breakout presentations by one of our expert speakers. Note: there are more breakouts than a single person can attend… it’s a great reason to bring one of your teammates with you.

We cannot begin to tell you how much value, energy, inspiration, motivation, and excitement you’ll experience networking face-to-face with other MIGHTY business people. Meet new retail friends (maybe even a BFF!), build connections, gather new ideas, and have FUN.

Each one of the Summit Sponsors has incredible money-making, cost-cutting, business-enhancing products and services to tell you about. Trust me, we would NOT invite them if their stuff wasn’t absolutely top notch and a great fit for independent retailers. We vet every single one.

During each session and throughout the day you’ll be building an actual PLAN that you can take back to your store and put into ACTION. Notes and ideas are great – a workable PLAN is far better. This has been one of the most powerful parts of the Summit for the last 18 years.

Filled with fun and indispensable swag, every attendee will get the things necessary to make your Summit easy and effective. And the bag itself is pretty useful… even after the event is over!

Or on your own – We give you plenty of time for lunch, either alone to work on digesting what you’ve already learned, or with a new retail friend to share ideas and insights from the morning. You’ll get a whole list of delicious, diverse food options within easy walking distance.

Along the main area overlooking the Grand River, you’ll find fun social photo ops so you can let your customers and colleagues know you’re growing and improving, games to play with your new friends, and a “sounding board” to share your favorite take aways with the group.

Let us buy you a drink! Immediately following the end of the first day you’re invited to a special networking cocktail party. Spend time talking with Bob and Susan, the expert speakers, and most importantly, connecting with the other incredible retailers in the room.
