Where We'll Be - Connecting and Growing at GROW LA 2025

The App0 team is gearing up for an exciting trip to West Hollywood. We're happy to announce our attendance at the GROW LA conference on April 23rd and 24th at the Directors Guild of America. This premier West Coast e-commerce event is set to be an apex of innovation, and we can't wait to be part of the energy.

GROW LA brings together some of the brightest minds and most dynamic brands in the e-commerce space. For us at App0, it's an invaluable opportunity to connect with industry leaders, witness the latest trends firsthand, and fuel our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions for your growth.

What's Got Our Attention at GROW LA

The agenda is packed with insightful sessions, and here are a few that we're particularly eager to dive into:

• Unlocking Growth with AI: Insights from True Classic (Wednesday, 9:30 am): The session titled "Beyond the checkout: How True Classic uses AI & product recommendations to drive profitable growth and Maximize LTV" immediately caught our eye. Hearing directly from Dhruv Patel (CEO, Aftersell) and Ben Yahalom (CEO, True Classic) about their AI-powered strategies for boosting customer lifetime value is incredibly relevant to our product and the entire e-commerce. We're keen to learn how they're personalizing the shopping experience – insights that will undoubtedly relate to how App0 can further empower your business with our personalized shopping assistant.
• The Future is Now: Exploring AI in Retail (Day Two): Day two's focus on "AI + THE FUTURE OF RETAIL" aligns perfectly with our vision for the future of digital commerce. While the full speaker lineup is impressive, the overarching theme of AI's transformative power in retail is something we're deeply invested in. We're looking forward to uncovering the latest applications and advancements that will shape the future of online business – knowledge we're excited to bring back and integrate into how we serve customers.
• Innovation at the Forefront: Lessons from Leading Brands (Wednesday, 11:25 am): The panel featuring Sara Ahmed Holman (CCO, Bobbie), Alexander Uruchurtu (Chief Product & Innovation Officer, Dr. Squatch), and Rory Garton-Smith (Co-founder & CTO, Checkmate) promises to be a fascinating discussion on navigating the modern e-commerce environment. Understanding how these successful brands approach product innovation and customer experience will provide valuable context for how we can help brands stand out.
• Connecting and Collaborating: The Roundtable Discussions: We're also looking forward to the interactive roundtable discussions during lunch on both days. These sessions offer a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow attendees, share experiences, and gain diverse perspectives from across the e-commerce ecosystem. We believe these conversations will spark new ideas and collaborations that ultimately benefit every business involved.
