Announcing Unite 2017: Shopify’s Partner and Developer Conference

Today, we’re proud to announce Unite 2017, Shopify’s Partner and Developer Conference. Devoted to those who build amazing things on the Shopify platform, Unite will once again bring together app developers, theme designers, web designers, and marketing professionals for two full days of learning and collaborating. Learn how you can be a part of Unite 2017.

Last year, we brought Shopify Partners from around the world together at Unite, Shopify’s Partner and Developer Conference.

"Not by ourselves, but as a united group, we can figure out what the future of commerce might look like,” said Shopify’s CEO and founder Tobias Lütke at last year’s event.

Today, we’re proud to announce that Unite 2017 will take place from April 20-21 at the Fort Mason Center in San Francisco, California.

This time, it’s going to be bigger and better. We’re adding extra tickets in order to host even more partners from around the world, providing fresh talks and in-depth workshops, and sharing new opportunities to grow your business alongside Shopify.

What is Unite?

Unite is a conference devoted to those who build amazing things on the Shopify platform.

App developers, theme designers, web designers, and marketing professionals will have the chance to come together with the Shopify team for two full days of learning and collaborating.

Outside of making great connections, attending Unite helped grow our business and scale our apps. The partner community and Shopify team are remarkable and unlike any other platform I've ever worked with.

What can you expect at Unite?

You’ll network with members of the Shopify team, meet and collaborate with other Shopify Partners, and be the first to hear exclusive details about the future of our platform.

Unite was an incredible opportunity to connect with Shopify HQ, and see firsthand the vision of the company to which I've connected the success of my own business. I came away with new connections, new information, and new energy. I'm more excited than ever to ride the Shopify rocket ship even higher.

— Carson McComas, Fuel Made

Each day will be filled with compelling keynotes and insightful panel discussions featuring Shopify executives, including CEO and founder Tobias Lütke. There will also be a number of interactive workshops to help you build and grow your business with Shopify and our merchant community.

Let’s continue to explore the future of commerce, together!

Being in technology, the world can seem to revolve around a computer. Get all those people in the same room, and you grasp the depth and scale of this incredible network. Such a great experience meeting those we’ve worked with behind the scenes for years. Being involved in the constant evolution inspires us — can’t wait for the next Unite!

We loved all the different tracks — and it was good to see some devs hauled up onto the stage to talk about some of the great new features. It was awesome to feel part of a community that is vibrant and evidently growing extremely fast.
