Created With Your Role In Mind
Email Marketers
Anyone with a pulse can send an email. But how do you become the brand that gets more opens, clicks and sales than your top 3 competitors combined? Come to this year’s BFCM Summit to see the exact strategies 8- and 9-figure email marketers are deploying now to have primary tab-level deliverability, irresistible offers and creative campaigns that push AOVs and LTVs to new heights. Trust us … You don’t want to get caught on your back foot with a less than stellar email performance in Q4. So come see how you could make email your #1 most profitable channel to close out the year.
Ecom Operators
No matter what part of an ecom business you touch — shipping, logistics, retention, social media, support — Black Friday affects it. And if you want to be in the know about messaging, trends and common issues that everyone is addressing going into Q4, you need to be here. All the industry’s top thought leaders will be sharing their predictions, insights and exact strategies for supporting your ecom business from end to end. Get instant clarity and connect with your peers at the only event dedicated to the biggest day of sales of the year.
Agency Owners
Fact: Your Q4 sales numbers can make or break your client relationships. And with talks of a looming recession, an even more competitive ecom landscape, and advertising costs that continue to skyrocket, beating last year’s sales numbers won’t be a walk in the park … by a long shot! And yet, a handful of agency owners will absolutely crush it for their clients this BFCM and get the lionshare of business in 2023. So if you plan on thriving this season and want to shatter your clients’ goals, make sure you don’t miss a single session of this event. Your competition will be there. Will you?
Media Buyers
Hey, media buyers! Let us guess, you’ve heard this before: “Ad costs continue to rise!” “FB doesn’t work anymore!” “Have you tried TikTok ads?!” We know. It’s been the same ol’ spiel from the same ol’ people for the last 12 months. But where are the actual strategies, the actual ad creatives, and the real techniques that media buyers on the front lines are using to find, source, launch, test and scale paid media today? At this year’s BFCM Summit, we’ve gathered the top media buyers in the world (with billions in spend) to share their playbooks with you. So you can close out the year with your best numbers yet … with a lot less stress on your shoulders.
UGC Creators
If there’s one thing brands are hungry for in Q4, it’s UGC content. Because nothing scales further, faster and more authentically than a great UGC-based ad. The problem is, a lot of UGC creators don’t know what brands are looking for, what ultimately works, or how to select brands that set them up for success in the long run. That stops now! At this year’s event, we’re pulling back the curtain on every part of the UGC creation process, giving you unprecedented access to what the top creators in the space are doing … what brands want … and, most importantly, what you can do to get a piece of the pie.
Copywriters
It’s your time to shine! Be the hero of your clients’ BFCM campaign by seeing the exact offers, actual email creative, exact sending volumes, post-purchase flows, landing page secrets, pop-up tips, segmentation insights and more(!). This is the stuff that 7-, 8- and 9-figure copywriters are using right now to potentially 2-10x last year’s sale numbers. And you can get a front row seat to their entire strategy at this year’s BFCM. If you want to close out the year on a high note and get results so good that you’re never searching for work in 2023, make sure you’re here!
Founders & Ecom
C-Suite
During last year’s BFCM, almost $1 trillion was spent by shoppers around the world. And many brands saw 6- and even 7-figures in sales in a single day. The problem is, many founders and ecom leaders don’t lay the foundation for a great campaign until it’s too late. Or worse, they sink all their resources into having a great BFCM sale … only to get a bunch of customers and then fail to continue monetizing them. Ouch! If you want to set yourself up for a recording-breaking BFCM and keep that momentum in 2023, make sure you and your team are at this event.
CRO & Growth Marketers
Want to know what can absolutely destroy your BFCM sales numbers? A website that doesn’t convert. Nothing shines a flashlight on conversion issues like the highest traffic day of the year! So get in front of website conversion mistakes (before they rear their ugly head) by seeing what some of the top CRO experts and growth marketers are doing to improve page load speed, boost AOV, and unlock even more sales — from the same amount of traffic — this holiday season with your ticket to this event!
Creative Strategists & Designers
Want to make sure your ads stand out this BFCM? We got you, fam! And we aren't stopping at just this year’s BFCM Summit with a powerful suite of expert designers.
DTC Summits is also co-hosting a separate event dedicated entirely to creative strategy (The Creative Strategy Summit on Sept. 14). And your BFCM Summit ticket instantly gives you free admission to it.
Which means you’ll get access to dozens of industry-leading creators, see their design process, and take away ideas that empower your own creative ideation. All you need to do to watch both is snag a ticket to this one!

Too often, marketers worry if other brands are the right brands to co-market with. But we so rarely consider whether *we* are the ones worth co-marketing with. In this session, Amanda Natividad, VP Marketing at SparkToro, will walk you through the new world of co-marketing — and it all starts with becoming a brand that others actually want to partner with. You'll learn some basic principles for how to become your own mini media company, how to find the right brands to pitch to (quick spoiler: bigger brands doesn't always mean better), and how to design appealing offers to your customers.
