NEW THIS YEAR
We go through your store. Live.
Store Clinics: built from what merchants told us they needed last year. Someone from our team gets into your store with you.
1-2-1 session
15 minutes with a Judge.me expert who goes through your store and makes improvements on the spot.
Limited spots, first come. Registration opens during event.
Open session
At the end of each day, watch us work through a real store live, then make the same changes to yours.
Included with every seat. Join on the day from the lobby.
We'll cover the most common topics our support team gets asked, including widget placement, review request timing, and the automations most stores never touch, from coupons that earn a second order to reviews posted straight to social.

a look back
What 2025 looked like from the inside
The first Summit ran in 2025. Here's the receipts.
“The main thing I liked is listening to extremely competent people share what they're actually worried about, right now, in running their businesses. This is real-world knowledge.”

“I've attended many in-person, multi-day conferences — Amazon and Salesforce to name a couple — and this has by far been the best. Real insights and actionable information without having to leave my house.”
DTC operator, 2025 attendee
“Typically with events like this they always talk at such a high level, but never dive deeper into the nitty-gritty. The speakers owned or had started small businesses, and I could relate to the strategies, pain points, everything.”
DTC operator, 2025 attendee
“I used the sessions in front of my store and implemented things as you spoke. A great use of my time.”
DTC operator, 2025 attendee
“In other conferences you're shown demos from vendors and their customers but you never get real insights of how they achieved results. From the sessions at the Summit, I got all the information I needed, and more.”
DTC operator, 2025 attendee
“I appreciated the multiple views from different types of companies and company sizes. I learned new apps to look at and was very thankful so many people shared their stories.”
DTC operator, 2025 attendee
“I learned more in one session than the previous 5 years of selling DTC.”
DTC operator, 2025 attendee
“Real insights from real merchants. No BS.”
