A colleague and I attended the 2025 DTC conference in NYC. We are from the premium CTV/TV media company and came to meet and learn about emerging brands. The summit presented the unique challenges DTC brand face, including the plethora of media options DTC's have at their disposal to drive business outcomes.
The summit was not too big which really allowed for honest sharing. The speakers were really transparent and shared their secret sauce (which is not typical). As a seller, I found it valuable to learn about the ways brands are using different mediums, how they track each platform and how they measure the LTV of new leads. As a curious seller, I found the information educational and beneficial in rounding out my SMB knowledge.
I'm certainly coming back in 2026. I would like the hosts to try and incorporate the handful of media partners into the content of the summit. A bit more aid in introductions or possibly allowing select vendors to share case studies of how their platform is driving measurable DTC sales outcomes.
Hyper valuable experience for Ecom founders. One of the most value packed days i have experienced as a founder.
You will learn something or meet someone here that will help grow you business and make you money.
Can’t wait for Miami.
Best event I attended in ecommerce. It gives something different, more bespoke feeling as you can get close to everyone and ask real questions without feeling like you're speaking infront of 1000 people.
You will leave with real knowledge without having too ask to many questions anyways!
Everyone is on your team, the organisation is top notch, or bs selling just real advice being given out.
Highly recommend, has that feeling of a mastermind!
My wife and I went to last year's Summit. It was awesome. Sometimes you get set in your ways in marketing (as a brand) and it's important to learn what others are doing to shake things up. Also, nobody likes networking, but you can't stay locked onto your laptop all day. It always feels better to get out and meet people IRL. Never fails. And DTC Growth Summit is a great place to get out of your shell and learn. Wait, did someone say Miami? Nuff said
I attended the NYC event and it was one of my favorite events in recent memory. Great brands going 8 and 9 figures. Killer presentations with actionable insights.
The event was small enough to really connect with speakers and brands.
AND...we met a 9 figure brand there that we're not working with. Big win.
