NEW ORLEANS, May 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Thousands are set to convene in New Orleans for the fourth annual Subscription Summit (SubSummit), at Hilton New Orleans Riverside, May 29 – 31.
From start-ups to experienced trailblazers, merchants to vendors, and everyone in between, SubSummit brings together all players in the space for three days of unparalleled networking, and learning how to start and scale successful subscription businesses.
Created and managed by the Subscription Trade Association (SUBTA), SubSummit 2019 is expected to feature more than 1,200 attendees and nearly 100 notable speakers, reflecting the rapid growth of the subscription commerce industry via new industry players and consumer-driven solutions. This year's SubSummit comes on the heels of a successful event in Denver that saw 40% growth year-over-year in attendance.
"Now in its fourth year, SubSummit has become the event that we aspired to create serving as the centerpiece of the subscription commerce industry, its continued evolution as an industry and as a resource to all involved," said Paul Chambers, co-founder of SUBTA. "SubSummit serves as an annual opportunity to come together and chart a course on how our industry can be the best steward for our customers."
This year's theme, 'Beyond The Box,' will bring the evolution of the subscription box into focus, encouraging attendees to not only look at the "what's now," but the "what's next." The theme will be further conveyed in the keynote, "Going Beyond Delivery to Build Your Brand," by Kim Dixon, executive vice president and chief operating officer of FedEx Office.
Another highlight of the annual conference is the presentation of the CUBE Awards, the first awards celebration of its kind for the subscription box industry. Categories include 'Best Overall Box' in various niches, 'Best Customer Experience' and 'People's Choice Award.' Notable previous winners include Loot Crate, SnackNation and FabFitFun.
SubSummit 2019 is supported by sponsors including FedEx, Solvvy and Pitney Bowes, amongst more than 90 others.
