First, the bad. Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam. I have been to IRC and many SEO/SMX/CRO conferences, and I've never been spammed by vendors more than I was in the weeks leading up to eTail. Whew. They sold their list early and often. Now the good. The speakers were good, the information was timely, if not a ton of actionable items.

Well organized and well done, but I wish there had been more foot traffic in the expo.

I went to learn, not to be sold to. Like most of these conferences, around 50% of the speakers had something interesting to say. In the case of eTail 2019, though, I would say that the 50% on the interesting side was very, very good. This conference tends to be a bit heavy handed with vendor selling, but I did walk away with a feeling of inspiration to enact a number of changes that I think will help my company adapt to the future and grow.

Thought the conference was really well organized. Loved how each day was structured differently, so that the audience was kept engaged in different ways, whilst still having opportunities to network and learn from one another. Didn't enjoy the round table discussions where we were forced to speak to vendors, although they were very professional at not just pitching their solution to the group. This did allow us to learn from each other - which was great. Recommend having like-industries/Brands sit together, so that the learning can be amplified.
