The Data Nerd’s Guide to eTail East
August 19-22, eTail East comes to Boston. For retailers and marketers who are fascinated by data—and that should be all of us—this show offers such an embarrassment of riches, it’s easy to get option paralysis. You’ll see presentations on everything from driving traffic through the marketing funnel, to omnichannel personalization, to sales and marketing analytics and best practices of top omnichannel brands. And if you’ve ever been a kid in a candy store or an adult at the Cheesecake Factory, you know the struggle: When you’re surrounded by treats, it’s hard to know where to start. Here are a few ideas about where to begin.
Things really heat up between 2-5 p.m. every day—that’s when your attention is split between four different tracks, each offering a lineup of 20-minute presentations. We went through the daily listings and curated a lineup of data-centric presentations. Note we’re not saying these are the best, or the only ones you should attend—nothing disparaging about the competing options.

If you’re headed to eTail East, you can request a meeting with one of our Treasure Data CDP experts to see how we can connect your entire martech stack for better insights. Or you can stop by Booth #405 on the exhibit floor, and we’ll show you some great options for using your data more effectively to drive sales and create omnichannel customer experiences that convert. See you there!
