Shoptalk Meetup for Women represents the continuation of Shoptalk's commitment to supporting and promoting the achievements of women in the retail industry. Other efforts include a commitment to 50/50 gender balance among speakers on the Shoptalk stage (March 27-30, Las Vegas) and partnering with the Women in Retail Leadership Circle on inclusive networking and learning opportunities for the women in our community.

Shoptalk's signature Meetups bring large, curated groups together for double opt-in virtual meetings and peer group discussions. The Meetups have successfully facilitated more than 43,000 online meetings for more than 6,000 participants in the past year.

"Our inaugural Shoptalk Meetup for Women, held last year, was an incredible success, creating a new community of smart, talented and like-minded women," said Krystina Gustafson, Shoptalk and Groceryshop's senior vice president of content. "We're excited to welcome even more women into this community, and to help them build meaningful connections that last well beyond these three days."

Shoptalk Meetup for Women will be the sixth Meetup event hosted by Shoptalk. Upcoming Meetups for 2022 include: Groceryshop Spring Meetup (May 10-12, 2022) and Shoptalk Fall Meetup 2022 (October 18-20,, 2022).
