Shoptalk Fall is where retail rewrites itself. We are bringing Future Commerce to McCormick Place with a night event, a members-only salon, and a live LORE pop-up with podcast recordings.
Pick your path. Better yet, do all three.
We've partnered with Shoptalk to bring you an exclusive LORE experience at Shoptalk Fall. Join commerce's most influential minds for three days of innovation, insight, and exclusive networking opportunities you won't find anywhere else.

We’re proud to have Furniture.com as our partner for the LORE pop-up at Shoptalk Fall. Known for making design-forward furniture accessible and shoppable online, Furniture.com is helping us bring the spirit of LORE to life on the show floor. Together we’re creating a space that feels more like a living room than a booth — a place where you can slow down, flip through the book, and sit down for a real conversation.
For the strategist willing to look beyond the horizon of quarterly earnings, these sessions offer glimpses of retail's future.
