Meet Global Vice-President Jason Bare and Director of Business Development Michele Jowdy at ShopperFest!

MSPA Americas, the trade association representing the customer experience (CX), measurement, and merchandising industries, has announced the return of its annual independent contractor conference, ShopperFest, to be held June 25 – 27, at the Sheraton North Houston at George Bush Intercontinental Airport.

“We are excited to bring together our MSPA family once again for a weekend of industry education, networking and fellowship,” stated MSPA Americas President Sam Hersey. “ShopperFest has been an important event for our CX research and merchandising member companies to connect with our MSPA base of independent contractors, and for us as an association to deliver a robust series of sessions and courses to aid in the development of their skillset.”

The ShopperFest sessions and panels are led by members of the MSPA Americas Board of Directors and other industry executives. The annual conference was first held in Orlando in October 2014 and has been staged each year in various cities around the country until 2020, when the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The conference is being presented by Buena Vista Events & Management of Orlando, Florida, MSPA Americas’ management association.
