GROW NY is a single-day eCommerce conference held at Center 415 in Midtown Manhattan. The 2026 edition takes place on August 19. Per the organizer, the event draws 900+ eCommerce leaders, with an audience composition of roughly 23% enterprise retailers, 52% mid-market brands, and 22% technology providers, venture capitalists, and agencies. The seniority mix skews leadership-heavy: 32% C-suite (CEO, CMO, COO, CTO) and 35% senior director, director, and manager level.
The day is structured around main stage keynotes and panel discussions, smaller roundtable sessions, an exhibit hall, and a matched 1-1 meeting program that pairs brand operators with technology providers and agencies. Interactive workshops and evening receptions sit alongside the core programming. According to the organizer, 37% of attending brands report revenue between $20M and $50M, and another 30% between $10M and $20M, positioning the audience around mid-market and scaling DTC and omnichannel operators.
GROW operates a multi-city series; GROW LA ran in April 2025, and GROW NY 2026 carries forward an overlapping speaker roster of brand-side operators from companies including Wayfair, Amazon (Ring), Crocs, Fabletics, Honeylove, and e.l.f. Beauty. The organizer reports a broader community footprint of roughly 60,000 people in its network across editions.
The venue, Center 415 on Fifth Avenue, is a private event space in Midtown Manhattan within walking distance of Bryant Park and the Empire State Building. The single-venue, single-day setup keeps the conference geographically compact: keynote stage, exhibit hall, roundtables, and 1-1 meetings happen under one roof rather than across multiple hotel ballrooms. Programming themes from the GROW series have historically covered performance marketing and creative, retention and lifecycle, paid media efficiency, retail and marketplace expansion, and operations topics such as fulfillment, returns, and customer service. The 2026 New York agenda is curated against the same brand-operator-first lens the organizer applies to its LA edition.

Brand operators use GROW NY to compare notes with peers running similarly sized eCommerce businesses and to meet specific technology and agency partners through the matched 1-1 meeting program rather than walking a large exhibit floor. The single-day, single-city format compresses sourcing, peer learning, and partner conversations into one calendar day in Midtown.
Technology providers, agencies, and investors sponsor GROW NY to access a concentrated audience of mid-market DTC and omnichannel brand operators in one room, with structured 1-1 meeting slots and exhibit hall placement that support direct pipeline conversations alongside the conference content.
