Date & Venue Announced for 2022 Midwest Ecommerce Summit

Conference to Draw Manufacturing, Retail & Ecommerce Leaders to the Gateway City This Fall

ST. LOUIS (July 19, 2022) – The third annual Midwest Ecommerce Summit (MES) will be taking place on September 29, 2022, at City Museum. This one-day conference features more than a dozen presenters and sponsors, including St. Louis-based Blayzer Digital. Ecommerce experts will provide industry success stories, powerful solution demos, and strategies for Midwestern manufacturers, distributors, and retailers.

“MES is an exceptional opportunity to learn from ecommerce experts and gain insight into the latest industry trends and technologies,” said Brad Goldenberg, CEO at Blayzer Digital. “We are so excited to learn, connect, and integrate ideas and solutions at this year’s conference, and to play a part in bringing an event like this to the Midwest right here in St. Louis.”

The Midwest Ecommerce Summit welcomes executives and ecommerce professionals from all sectors of manufacturing, distribution, and retail business. Leaders from sales and marketing, IT, operations, fulfillment, and more are to learn about enhancing ecommerce through strategy, integration, and process.

2022 marks MES’s first year as an in-person event. Its first two years were done virtually. Since its inception in 2020, MES has virtually drawn participation from some of the biggest players in ecommerce technology, including BigCommerce, ShipStation, Square and Trustpilot. Timely themes in years prior have included “Accelerating Ecommerce Through COVID-19 & Beyond” in 2020, and in 2021, the event celebrated the new “Roaring 20s of Ecommerce”. The central theme of MES this year will be “Opportunities in Omnichannel Ecommerce”.

This year’s speaker lineup includes experts from BigCommerce, Feedonomics, Brightpearl, Klevu, ShipStation, Rewind, Gorgias, Vertex, Blayzer Digital, Swip Systems, and Phat Buddha Vision. The conference will also feature a guest speaker and a discussion panel about Omnichannel Ecommerce.

“We are so excited to finally bring MES to the ecommerce community live and in-person, in St. Louis, like we’ve always wanted,” says Blayzer Digital’s President and MES 2022 Emcee, Mike Landau. “Access to this level of expertise is something we’ve never seen here before. We’re really rolling out the red carpet for the ecommerce community this year and can’t wait to celebrate our first in-person event.”

Registration is now available for the 2022 Midwest Ecommerce Summit. Tickets include access to all in-person and online conference content, plus breakfast, lunch, and a full-on happy hour social soiree. The conference is free for all manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. Other guests can purchase a ticket now through September 1st, 2022, for $99 with the Early Bird Special.

Retailers are Leaving Almost Half of American Consumers Without an Option to Buy

Almost half of U.S. consumers don’t have a credit score or have a credit score under 700, and according to a survey by the Federal Reserve, 30% need financing in order to make an unexpected purchase of $400 or more. Rather than excluding these consumers, retailers would be wise to look beyond the credit score and understand more about this consumer demographic. Learn all about lease-to-own and how it is the best option for retailers that want to expand the number of customers in this blog post by MES 2021 partner Katapult.
