About Us

We’ve Been Doing This From The Start!

We launched eTail in 1999, and have been dedicated to supporting the growth of the retail industry ever since. What started off as 100 people in a room discussing where this sector is headed, has lead to 2000 senior-level eCommerce executives being inspired whilst learning and developing their company as well as their careers.

"It was another great show...thank you! In prior years I came as president & CEO of Ritz Interactive, Inc. a mature company, and found the show extremely important in helping build our business. This year I came as president and CEO of a startup company, MailPix, Inc., and continue to find the show critical in the building of my new business. Thank you again!" - Fred H. Lerner, President & CEO, MailPix.com

How Do We Do It?

Worldwide Business Research LLC, the organizers of eTail, is a full service conference production company - our core area of expertise. Other event companies also have publications, online portals, and sometimes outsource their conferences, we ensure that what you get from us is coming directly from us. From concept to delivery, we put together everything that comes with running the event – not many companies can claim this.

At eTail, whether it’s an interactive roundtable discussion, case study presentation, panel, or one-on-one Q&A’s, you’ll have the chance to get the solutions you are looking for. You will receive targeted, niche learning opportunities throughout the conference.

We Are Unique

The Networking: eTail is focused on providing you with as many new connections as possible. Through fun and interactive networking with every part of the industry you will expand your community with the right people that will help your company and develop your career.

The Content: is what sets eTail apart from our competitors. We spend six months conducting research and developing the program. Content is guided by this research, as well as our Retailer Advisory Board, to ensure the conference reflects the latest trends and hottest topics in the industry. If you have a pain point, we have it covered.

The Venue: eTail is always held at a top tier resort versus a convention center. At lunchtime, you won’t be shuttled off to S’barros with a coupon (or no coupon!). You’ll receive a full, three-course sit down meal. You are treated as a VIP every minute, as opposed to a passenger at JFK on Thanksgiving. In short, we make sure you are educated and pampered at our events.

Customer Service: Our staff onsite are knowledgeable about the event and the industry. They know what you need and where you can get it. That’s because the eTail staff is the event staff. We don’t hire temps and part timers to run the show, because the event is our business and delivering a great experience for you is imperative.

If you are interested in quality interactions, content that is specific to your business needs and networking with your peers, attending eTail is the best investment you can make. Guaranteed.
