What’s it all about?
Over the last four years, the Shopify Partners team has hosted informal afternoon and evening events in cities around the world. These educational events have brought together partners, ecommerce experts, designers, app developers, marketers, and entrepreneurs to share their experiences building successful businesses with Shopify. Of course, these events are more than just presentations — they are a great way to meet and connect with like-minded people experiencing similar issues.
Whilst these informal events have been wildly popular, we’re often asked if Shopify has plans to host a more substantial and extended partner-focused event in Europe. Well, we finally have an answer for you!
Why Bristol?
We are big fans of Bristol. It’s a vibrant city bustling with great restaurants, craft beer and coffee, and a rich cultural scene. It’s home to the famous ocean-going steamship the SS Great Britain — our home for the day. It’s also a very prominent destination for entrepreneurs, startups, and agencies. For this reason, it’s known locally as Silicon Gorge!
Bristol is easily accessible from all parts of the UK by train and road, and has an international airport a short bus/taxi ride from the city centre. Many low-cost carriers fly to Bristol, making it a cheaper option than other major UK cities.
We are confident you’ll get a lot from the day and the city.
