Got our bags packed and ready to fly out to Chicago for the annual gathering of the ecommece clans–the Internet Retailer conference. Once again at the McCormick Center, the 2010 show’s 400 plus exhibitors will welcome 6,000-7,000 attendees looking for ways to get ahead online as we come out of the recession of the past 2-3 years. We’ll be there to educate people about how site search is a critical component of this upward journey.
Internet Retailer – June 8-10, McCormick Place West, Chicago, IL (Booth #414)
I’ll be in the booth, along with Chris, Ruby and Christian. Stop by to receive a gift worth receiving. One hint: it is very Canadian. I guarantee that you won’t find it anywhere else on the expo floor. Prepare to be thrilled!
We’re also planning some major improvements to our website during the summer. One of the key changes will be the inclusion of much more video so we’re shooting on-site interviews with customers discussing their operations and Nextopia experience. So if you’re not camera-shy, and have 15 minutes to spare on Wednesday, RSVP to me as soon as you can.
Yahoo! Merchant Summit – June 11 – 8:00am – 5:30pm, McCormick Place West, Chicago, IL
Yahoo! is one of the platforms we frequently work with and this conference is one full day on how to supercharge your Yahoo! Stores business. We look forward to meeting up with many of our Yahoo! Stores-hosted customers, such as .
In addition to exhibiting at this one-day event, I’m also on the “Power of Design” panel, speaking on the importance of usability and design. We’re going to discuss a variety of issues, such as which design techniques are critical for merchants and how simple decisions like the placement of the search box can affect your site performance.
Hoping to see you in Chi-town at either of these events, or both.
