Anil Aggarwal and Jonathan Weiner, founders of FinTech event Money20/20, have partnered with Silicon Valley entrepreneur Don Kingsborough to launch Shoptalk, to launch in Las Vegas from May 15 through May 18. Shoptalk is a next gen commerce conference and exhibition focused on the technologies and trends that will determine how consumers will discover, shop and buy.

 
The agenda covers a wide range of game-changing trends, including omnichannel shopping; measurement and analytics everywhere; borderless shopping; on-demand services, delivery and logistics; and pioneering brands and retail models. "There is a fundamental transformation underway," said Aggarwal, chairman of Shoptalk.

"Technology has enabled a new unified physical and digital world where everyone creates, curates and consumes differently. Connected and empowered, today's consumers expect a wide range of new integrated, on-demand and personalized products, services and experiences.” Kingsborough added: “Disruption is the new norm in retail and commerce. We see Shoptalk as the definitive annual event to organize this transformative change in a meaningful, efficient way—and to provide a venue for important in-person collaboration among all ecosystem stakeholders.”

The event is projected to have over 2,000 attendees ranging from investors to retailers to tech start-ups and will feature over 300 speakers across multiple industries.
