10 Great Reasons Why You Can’t Miss SummitX 2024

Have you still not registered for SummitX 2024? 

We know you’ve been hearing a lot about SummitX, and the fact that it is the only event of its kind focused on telecom retail. But maybe you’re still wondering why, exactly, you should take three days out of your busy October to attend this event (even if it is being held at a paradise desert resort destination in Arizona). Especially if, maybe, you have other industry events on your calendar. 

Well, we’ve got 10 great reasons why you definitely can’t miss SummitX, and we’re sure they’ll convince you that this is the one event you should be prioritizing. Hear us out! 

1. SummitX is unparalleled as the only event of its kind focused on telecom retail. Yes, there are other carrier-specific or dealer-group-specific events that you can go to. There are events focused on prepaid, or the secondary/​repair market. But not one of them brings together all stakeholders from the industry — carriers, authorized retailers, device manufacturers, vendor companies, and more — to create a truly interconnected community space. If you want to widen your reach, your collaborative opportunities, or your business network beyond those other limited events, SummitX is where you need to be. 
2. The SummitX keynote presentations will be incredible. We have NFL star and author Tim Tebow on leadership lessons for team motivation, workplace culture guru Smiley Poswolsky on creating a working environment packed with talent, digital transformation specialist Shelly Palmer on 5G and connectivity, and technology expert Josh Linkner sharing his framework for business success. Plus, there’s the iconic iQmetrix Telecom Industry Address and an unmissable panel event on the future of retail. Check out our blog post on the agenda and keynotes here.
3. The awesome sessions will inspire you to rethink how you do business. SummitX truly has something for everyone who works in telecom retail (here’s more on who should attend, and why). In fact, SummitX has a lot of great sessions for everyone in the sector. Nowhere else will you find an agenda that is tailored to all telecom retail professionals, covering industry insights, technological innovation, inspirational presentations, and a host of opportunities for interconnection. Aside from our keynotes, we have a host of incredible speakers from both outside and inside iQmetrix covering a wide range of topics. Whether it’s revolutionizing telecom retail, next-generation market insights, harnessing the power of AI, or transforming the customer experience, our breakthrough breakout sessions promise to ignite transformative change across the industry. And don’t worry about keeping your schedule straight — all attendees will have access to the SummitX app, where you can keep track of all your sessions and events. 
4. Our Vendor Showcase will blow your mind with new possibilities. This exhibition of vendors and partners is an amazing way to make new connections and learn about the latest industry-adjacent technology providers who you can (and should) partner with. And for those vendors, it’s an unmissable opportunity to get in front of their entire target audience, all in one place at the same time. Plus, our SummitX app gives all exhibitors incredible lead-generation opportunities! 
5. Our Product Showcase will show you more ways to improve operations. Learn about all the evolved and new Interconnected Commerce technologies that are solving pain points and optimizing how you operate your telecom retail business. Plus, you can even get a say in our hackathon development ideas! 
6. The collaboration opportunities at SummitX are unlimited. One thing you won’t get at those brand- or group-specific events is the wide-open access to representatives from all areas of the telecom retail sector. A key part of SummitX’s value lies in the in the powerful interconnections formed by bringing together the best and brightest minds in the telecom retail industry. The magic is in those less tangible moments, the opportunities for connections, and the cross-pollination of ideas that can really only happen when you break free from your everyday routine. That could be colleagues from your own organization who might be based elsewhere, or contacts from other companies, suppliers, and vendors, and other future collaborators who you haven’t even met yet! The networking will be truly next level — plus the handy app we mentioned will also contain an attendee hub to make it easy to manage. 
7. It’s also an incredible chance to have a retreat with your own team. Want to kill two birds with one stone and save on your fall team-retreat budget? How about bringing the whole team together at SummitX and rolling in your own 2025 strategy planning session at the same time, while you’re all under one roof? There’s a ton of additional (and stunning) meeting space available, and we’re happy to work with you on setting up meetings and side sessions. We can also facilitate bringing in other SummitX attendees to your meeting if you’re looking to add cross-company collaboration or a speaker to your strategy planning. 
8. The venue for SummitX is absolutely breathtaking and worth the trip alone. We’re not kidding. The JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort and Spa is an unforgettable desert destination in Paradise Valley, Arizona. This remarkable resort offers exceptional service, luxury amenities, heated pools, garden terraces, and desert trails in the Sonoran Desert outside Scottsdale. The resort is on 125 pristine acres of desert between Mummy and Camelback Mountains, and has recently been reimagined with an extensive multimillion-dollar transformation of its 453 casitas and suites, lobby, restaurants, patios, and world-class conference facilities. You can read more and see photos to whet your appetite in this blog post.
9. The SummitX social events will be totally unforgettable. We’re in Scottsdale to learn and be inspired, but also to have one heck of a great time. Our social event calendar is hot! We have optional Welcome Activities for those who arrive early enough on the Sunday, including a golf tournament, a spectacular river float, and a give-back trail-maintenance hike. The Sunday evening will see our elegant Welcome Reception, and there will be early morning hikes and yoga available both Monday and Tuesday. The big event is our Monday night social — a speakeasy-themed party on the side of Mummy Mountain in a Wild West gold-mining town! And believe us when we say the entertainment and refreshments will be spectacular. We’re also wrapping up with a delightful Cocktail Farewell on the Tuesday afternoon after sessions wrap. You’ll have the best time! 
10. SummitX is the best-value event you’ll find in the telecom retail sector. Considering how incredibly targeted this event is to telecom retail, and yet how wide the reach across that sector, it’s really the only event you’ll need to attend this fall. Plus, the price of registration is a fraction of the cost of many conferences at only $850 (plus the discount on the venue room rate is a steal). If you have to choose only one, make it SummitX and cover all your bases in one event! And if you need to make the business case for attendance to whoever is the budget-holder, we’ve got you. More than anything, you need to think about the opportunity cost of NOT being at SummitX — all those missed chances for collaboration and connection, while others attending are doing just that.
