eTail West (branded by the organizer as eTail Palm Springs) is produced by Worldwide Business Research (WBR) and is the West Coast counterpart to eTail East. The 2026 edition runs February 23-26 at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa in Palm Springs, California.
The agenda spans keynote presentations, multi-track sessions, and dedicated summit days covering topics including AI personalization, performance marketing, retail media, customer retention, data and analytics, and omnichannel operations. The format combines stage content with structured one-to-one meetings between brand-side decision-makers and solution providers, alongside an expo and evening networking.
The audience is weighted toward VP, SVP, and C-level executives at large retailers, marketplaces, and DTC brands across apparel, beauty, home, sporting goods, and food and beverage. Adjacent summit days bookend the main agenda, with dedicated programming on search, marketing innovation, and operations. The expo runs alongside the main stage and forms the backbone of the hosted-meeting program that pairs brand-side attendees with solution providers based on submitted briefs.
