Commerce Roundtable is a community-oriented event series for DTC, eCommerce, and retail operators. The next edition, Commerce Roundtable San Diego 2026, takes place September 21-22, 2026 at Port Pavilion on Broadway Pier, a waterfront venue on the San Diego harbor. Per the organizer, the San Diego edition expects 750+ curated attendees, with the audience mix running roughly 50% CEO and co-founder, 30% senior leadership (CMO, COO, and VP level), and 20% marketing, customer experience, and operations practitioners. The organizer states a maintained 3:1 brand-to-partner ratio.
The two-day program is built around morning keynote sessions and live podcast recordings, followed by afternoon workshops with interactive Q&A. Lunch and networking sessions, sunset happy hours, and sponsor after-parties round out the schedule. The organizer lists 20+ speakers across the two days.
The prior 2026 edition, Commerce Roundtable Austin, ran April 20-21, 2026 at Brazos Hall in downtown Austin and drew 350+ founders, marketers, and operators per the organizer. Session topics covered Meta creative and account structure, TikTok Shop, retention and AI, scaling paid advertising, email marketing, brand building, and tariff management — giving a sense of the programming range the series carries between editions. The Austin edition served as the spring 2026 anchor in the series, with the larger San Diego edition positioned as the fall 2026 follow-up.
Port Pavilion sits on Broadway Pier on the San Diego waterfront, putting sessions, sponsor activations, and networking under one roof with harbor views. The organizer publicizes "$220K+" in giveaways and prizes across the two-day San Diego program, and ticket tiers are differentiated by attendee type — brand operators sit at the lowest tier, with agency, media/investor, and technology partner passes priced progressively higher to preserve the brand-heavy attendance ratio. Programming on past Commerce Roundtable editions has emphasized tactical, in-the-weeds operator content — paid media account structure, retention systems, and platform-specific channel breakdowns — alongside founder-level panels on building and scaling consumer brands.

DTC founders and operators attend Commerce Roundtable to compare playbooks with peers running similar-stage brands and to take in tactical sessions on paid media, retention, and platform-specific topics such as TikTok Shop. The 3:1 brand-to-partner ratio and curated guest list are designed to keep peer-to-peer conversation as a primary value rather than a side effect.
Agencies, technology partners, and service providers sponsor Commerce Roundtable to reach a founder-heavy audience — half of attendees are CEOs or co-founders per the organizer — through workshop slots, sponsor after-parties, and in-room exposure across the two-day program.
