Announcing Shopify Unite 2019

We believe the future of commerce belongs in the hands of the many, not the few.

Today, the Shopify Partner community is busy laying the foundation of that future: partners and developers build online and offline commerce experiences, address unique merchant needs, and empower entrepreneurs all over the world.

“We’re all doing this together,” explained CEO Tobi Lütke on-stage at last year’s Shopify Unite conference. “Shopify could not accomplish anything that it does without this incredible partner ecosystem. We’re an amazingly diverse mosaic of people interested in one particular change in this world: making entrepreneurship better.”

Today we’re excited to announce Shopify Unite 2019, our fourth annual partner and developer conference, happening June 18-20 in Toronto, Canada.

At Shopify Unite, partners and developers from around the world come together for three days of conversation about the future of commerce, connection to like-minded peers, and celebration of shared achievements. Attendees will hear from Shopify leadership, get an exclusive glimpse at product roadmaps, and explore the opportunity ahead.

If you’re a Shopify Partner or Shopify Developer, this conference is for you! Read on to get the full details below.

In addition to two full days of keynotes, technical talks, office hours, and workshops planned across June 19 and 20, there will also be optional afternoon programming available on June 18, including educational and wellness activities as well as early evening happy hours. More details on all programming to come soon.
