Shopify Unite in 2024
Shopify Unite in 2024 looks decidedly different than in previous years. Instead of a large, annual conference, Shopify has decided to transform the event format.
Here are the key changes:
- No major conference: There will be no major, international Shopify Unite conference in 2024.
- Focus on regional events: Shopify plans to host smaller regional events that will be more accessible to developers around the world.
- No details about 2024 events: There is currently no official information about specific dates, locations or topics for regional events in 2024.
