New York, NY, October 18, 2018 — CommerceNext, the ecommerce conference for next level customer acquisition, is scheduled for July 31 and August 1, 2019, in New York. The 2019 conference moves to the Grand Hyatt and is expanding to two full days.
CommerceNext is an annual ecommerce conference that brings together the best minds in retail, and ecommerce digital marketing, and customer acquisition.
