]]> Shop.org registration booth being setupI’m in Las Vegas for the Shop.org 2008 conference. It looks like it’s going to be a great conference with the keynotes and sessions that are lined up this year. The CEO & President of Borders is kicking off the first keynote, followed by the author of Wikinomics, Don Tapscott. The first session of the day after the keynotes has four sessions I would like to attend; Emerging Retail Technologies, Natural Search Tactics for the Retailer, Selecting the Right Solution Provider for your Retail Operations: eCommerce Platform Selection Case-Study, and Social Media And The Reluctant Retailer. I’m not sure what I’ll end up with.

One thing I’ve noticed that I’m not excited about it the number of sessions led by vendors. Shop.org has been very good in the past about focusing on retailers giving the presentations and this year seems like they’ve taken a 90 degree turn. There are still quite a few retailers presenting and lets hope they keep a tight hold on the vendors from pitching their wares for the hour.

The show kicks off Monday night. If you are at the show, drop me a note and I’d love to meet up with you.
