The room that actually built, scaled, and sold in social commerce is coming to Salt Lake City. Social Commerce Summit kicks off its 2026 fall series on September 16 at Young Living Headquarters — 20+ operators who’ve shipped products, run P&Ls, and built the platforms brands actually use. No theorists. No pitch decks without a business behind them. Just people who’ve done it, sharing what’s working right now. With U.S. social commerce sales projected to top $100 billion in 2026, this is the conversation worth being in. Brands attend free by application → socommsummit.com/events/utah-2026
US social commerce sales are projected to top $100 billion in 2026.
Social Commerce Summit has one unbreakable rule: no speaker without a real business behind them and the resources to support. Everyone who takes the stage has shipped a product; run a P&L; or built a platform brands actually use.
“Salt Lake City kicks off our fall series with exactly the kind of room we set out to build: operators who’ve actually built, scaled and sold in social commerce, sharing what’s helped them and what’s working right now,” said Stuart Johnson, Founder and CEO of Social Commerce News.
