Shoptalk 2026 A Dynamic Ecosystem Evolving at Light Speed

The People An impressive collective of tech builders, investors, and operators who all share the same DNA - a relentless “can-do” mentality and "zero fear of failure". These are people rewriting the rules of commerce domestically and globally.

The Content Built for operators who need to execute now and have the vision for tomorrow. No frauds are anywhere to be found. People taking risks and disrupting every inch of the funnel.

The Innovation This is where the future of retail engages with bold ideas, start-up mentality, and the drive to win.

The Energy High-octane. People who refuse to accept “that’s how it’s always been done.” The vibe is contagious—and it follows you home with renewed fire for your own business.

The Who I have met a lot of “Big Hat, No Cattle” people in my life in the CPG business but Hyve Group and Zia Daniell Wigder are the exact opposite. What they have done in transforming business development is next level - they are creators and builders.

The Builders Always impressed by the humility of the “builders” like Don “eCommerce” Brett (Pattern), Ray Cao, Kim Cox, Guru Hariharan (CommerceIQ) who are investing, creating, building the next generation of winners (many others not listed - ShiSh Shridhar who was sorely missed).

P.S. I did get this from a colleague at Puroast Coffee when I returned who thought they could have added value.
