    What To Expect at the 2026 Digital Shelf Summit (DSS)

    Salsify’s annual Digital Shelf Summit (DSS) is taking place Monday, May 4, through Wednesday, May 6, at the Signia by Hilton in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia — and you don’t want to miss it.

    But don’t take our word for it.

    Jennifer Angelus, director of digital shelf and capabilities at Danone, shares how much she values her experience at DSS: “The Digital Shelf Summit was one of the highlights of my career to date … It was a clear reminder that we are ‘better together’ and that together, we can be a driving force shaping the future of digital commerce.”

    Here’s what to expect from this year’s event — and how DSS reinforces that we’re “better together.”

    3 Days Jam-Packed With Invaluable Insights

    Whether or not you’ve previously summited with us, you know the value of surrounding yourself with industry peers and experts who are dedicated to learning, transformation, and driving growth.

    DSS perfectly encapsulates that value with:

    • Eight (plus!) networking breaks to deepen your connections;
    • Three socials (because we’re also gathering to celebrate our wins 🥳); and
    • Interactive sessions, academy offerings, and mainstage conversations led by industry innovators.

    As Angelus says, “The real magic was in the reunions, new connections, and energizing conversations with all of my peers whom I admire for their executional excellence and learn insights from each day.”

    Tuesday, May 5: Agentic Is on the Agenda

    Salsify recognizes the importance of AI — especially mastering AI for your business. That’s why we’re introducing Agentic Commerce Day to this year’s DSS.

    Agentic Commerce Day is dedicated to teaching you the ropes on how to implement agentic commerce, with a first-hand look at Salsify’s new AI tools, expert-led AI conversations, and informative breakout sessions.

    Wednesday, May 6: Digital Shelf Institute (DSI) Day and the Transformer’s Awards

    DSS will close out with DSI Day, “focused on agentic transformation and what it really takes to become AI-enabled,” says Lauren Livak Gilbert, executive director of the DSI.

    DSI Day boasts three interactive workshops led by top execs at Profitero+, ReFiBuy, and firstmovr, as well as sessions covering hot topics like the new rules of commerce transformation, building the next generation of commerce leaders, and everything in between.

    DSI Day will include the Digital Shelf Transformer Awards, honoring Salsify customers who have exceeded expectations on the digital shelf.
