Beanstalk (formerly known as Commerce Summit) is the largest and most important retail event that unites the entire Disruptor Brands ecosystem. Beanstalk is designed to help you build meaningful relationships with the business leaders who matter to you. This isn’t your grandpa’s conference. Here are a few things you can expect: -- 10,000+ Meetings that put you in front of the right people you want to meet (powered by real tech) -- 200+ useful and carefully curated Power Lunches (in groups of 5-8 each) across a variety of discussion topics that are relevant to your industry with leaders who you can relate to. -- 40+ fun activities (really) that makes relationship building and doing business easier, more productive and far less awkward. Also designed for introverts in mind. -- 50+ Boardroom Discussions (in groups of 15-25) with Legends of the Industry who are really good at what they do on how they successfully executed (or failed at) something. Not large (and cold) keynotes on massive stages where most people tune out and just go on their phones. -- 30+ Private Dinners with other leaders in your space in an intimate setting. We believe that breaking bread is one of the best ways to get to know each other.
