/ About this event

This event is part of #LATechWeek, a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at tech-week.com.

Join 1800DTC and Reserve in Los Angeles for an operator-led conversation about preparing for the biggest shopping season of the year.

The most important BFCM decisions are made long before the first promotion goes live. Before the Rush brings together DTC operators and industry experts for an honest conversation about what brands should be doing now across acquisition, retention, customer experience, inventory, operations, and measurement.

No recycled playbooks or surface-level predictions. Our panelists will share what they’re prioritizing, what they’ve learned from previous seasons, and where brands should focus before the rush begins.

Our Panelist Include: - Steve Morales (Moderator) - Suraj Sundar - Greg Bicksler - Eshaan Kaul - Bryan Bumgardner - Yoshi Figueroa

Join us for an intimate evening at Reserve alongside founders, operators, marketers, and commerce partners from across the DTC community. Come for the conversation. Stay to connect with the people building what’s next in commerce.

Seats are limited. Reserve your place.
