Every year thousands of Amazon sellers attend a conference to keep up with best practices and networking. Today we’ll talk about how you should strategize your attendance and why it should still be on your radar in 2020 despite COVID-19. We’ll also have a promo code for our listeners to get a discount off a conference. My name is Steven Pope and this is the My Amazon Guy podcast.
I’m now joined by Travis Barritt who is the Director of Marketing for the Midwest Ecom Conference. http://www.midwestecom.com/
