Amazon is only getting bigger. The most recent Amazon stats show that there are more than 1.9 million active sellers and, even more impressive, 300 million active customers from over 180 countries on the platform, forming a very diverse audience to which your brand can cater. Small and midsize business (SMB) and third-party sellers are enjoying healthy growth too. In Q2 of 2022, third-party sellers generated nearly 60% of the total units sold.
If you’re an Amazon seller, naturally, you would want to improve your store’s performance. Amazon is a trusted platform, but stiff competition among Amazon sellers comes with its popularity. The millions of businesses joining the marketplace each year mean you have to stand out in search results, customer reviews, and ads if you want more sales.
To help you expand your marketing skills and, ultimately, your Amazon business venture, here are 12 exciting Amazon seller conferences that you can join in 2023.
Due to the pandemic, Amazon seller conferences have previously been limited to online events. But for 2023, most events will return to in-person attendance. In-person sessions can help re-establish a much more effective networking potential. With relevant get-togethers and discussions, Amazon sellers can learn new strategies from each other.
Here are several advantages of joining Amazon seller conferences:
These live conferences enable newbie sellers to interact with fellow businesspeople. It could help one get a closer insight into what type of products are marketed on the platform, what SEO strategy worked for a particular seller, and what possible collaborations sellers could embark on.
There’s so much to learn from different service providers who share their Amazon advertising experience — opportunities that you would never have otherwise had if you stayed in your bubble.
Amazon seller conferences are chock-full of knowledge about growing your business on the platform. Tickets are usually quite pricey, but that’s because attendees can gather the latest data on algorithm updates, effective audience targeting, product description copy, and more.
Amazon seller conferences invite the best in the business. Attendees can get a lot of takeaways from each session, especially if you have one particular area of Amazon marketing you want to improve.
Amazon is fast-evolving, which means what worked in previous years may no longer be the best marketing strategy now or in the next few years. Amazon seller conferences are the best venues for scrutinizing potential service providers to see which one fits your business and budget.
For instance, you can inquire about different service packages to get on top of your product photos and video content. Or, if you’re ready to accommodate foreign currency, you can hire specialists to help your store make that leap.

Conferences are the most accessible avenues to connect with legitimate service providers who are actively seeking clients. Organizers are thankfully pushing in-person conferences now, after the virtual events that have dominated the past few years. While live events require attendees to invest time and money, these Amazon seller conferences are among the best ways to hone in on what can grow your Amazon store. Most networking moments that will be fruitful for your business can only happen in face-to-face interactions. Moreover, there are countless opportunities to discuss your experiences and pose your nagging questions directly to true experts.
Most sellers may no longer see the value in attending conferences, especially if they are doing relatively well on Amazon. But it’s valuable for starters and established stores. Remember, Amazon is a fast-evolving marketplace that utilizes new technologies constantly. With millions of new stores registering monthly in the US alone, it’s vital to keep learning and evolving your marketing and SEO strategy. You don’t want to stagnate and be left out of how new algorithms and rules can impact your business. Indeed, conferences aren’t exclusive to seven-figure sellers or to beginners. They’re meant to provide takeaways for every Amazon seller.
