Shoptalk Fall is the U.S. autumn edition of Shoptalk, produced by Hyve Group. The 2026 event runs September 29 - October 1, 2026 at the Music City Center in Nashville. The organizer positions Shoptalk Fall as a smaller, more intimate counterpart to Shoptalk Spring, framed under the "Retail Unplugged" tagline with an emphasis on peer-to-peer conversations rather than traditional keynote presentations.
The format combines stage content with the Meetup program — the organizer's double-opt-in matchmaking system that schedules 15-minute meetings between attendees. The organizer reports more than 20,000 Meetup meetings and 350+ sponsors and exhibitors for the 2026 event. The 2026 program lists 150+ speakers.
The organizer reports that approximately 1 in 3 attendees are at the C-suite level, with attendance drawn from retailers, direct-to-consumer brands, agencies, and technology providers planning the year ahead.

Brand teams attend to schedule Meetup sessions with vendors and peers, hear retail leaders discuss the year ahead, and benchmark plans for the upcoming holiday season and following fiscal year in a smaller-format setting.
Vendors sponsor to take Meetup meetings with retail and brand buyers planning their 2027 budgets, generate qualified pipeline, and gain visibility in a smaller, more selective audience than the spring edition.
