/ 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 www.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 leading 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. Just practical insights, real experiences, and the strategies operators are using to build stronger, more profitable campaigns.

Our panelists will share what they’re prioritizing, what they’ve learned from previous seasons, and where they believe brands should focus before the rush begins.

Join us for an intimate evening at Reserve in Los Angeles 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.
