All seller conferences that have been traditionally in-person, but transitioned to streaming only over the past few years due to the pandemic, have returned with at least some in-person segments.

Still, all conferences that did go in-person continue to offer virtual events, and this calendar is for those sellers that want to participate from their office or home.

Etsy is holding Success Events via live stream webinars instead of a seller conference. We added the start time of each live streaming event for these sessions to this list. Some Etsy Succes Events sessions are on the same day as other seller conferences.

Also, eBay is holding in-person eBay Open events in Germany (eBay Open Germany Info) and the UK (eBay Open UK Info), which are not included in this list.

Friday, Sep. 23 – eBay Open: Day 3 is ‘replay day’ when eBay repeats training sessions from the first two days. Since many training sessions overlapped on the first two days, this allows participants to view sessions they missed due to an earlier conflict.

The full eBay Open agenda is available here as well as information on how to sign up for the virtual event sessions. A Sneak Peak event will be held on September 8 for those sellers that signed up by September 1.

No word yet if the live stream will have a fee but previous PoshFest live stream sessions were offered for free.

The (announced) agenda for PoshFest 2022 is available here and includes all sessions, including those that will only be available in person. There is a $279 fee to attend the event and in-person tickets are limited.

Seller Conferences Galore

September is a busy month for marketplace sellers who want to learn how to maximize their business during this holiday season.

While many already have plans to have sufficient inventory, these conferences can still provide valuable insights on growing sales and profits.

Since the virtual events are free (not confirmed with PoshFest yet), marketplace sellers can also explore other sales channels to expand their reach.

We will update this post with any relevant new information that may become available, especially as Poshmark is still finalizing the agenda and streaming details for PoshFest 2022.
