SEPTEMBER 2026 · SAIGON · CURATED ROOM
Be in the room.
AI ecommerce is moving fast. Join the room where APAC sellers, operators, and partners turn the shift into real growth ideas.
Fast-moving sellers, strong operator communities, and a growing Shopify ecosystem make Saigon the right place to host the next AI ecommerce summit.
How does the waitlist work?
Joining is free and takes ~2 minutes. Waitlist members get priority access to Early Bird tickets, every speaker reveal first, and agenda previews before public. We don't auto-charge — you'll get an invitation to claim a ticket when applications open in Phase 2.
When do actual tickets open and what tiers?
Early Bird opens with our Phase 2 announcement — typically 60–90 days pre-event. Expected tiers: Early Bird, Standard, Pro Pass (includes Day 2 workshop + networking dinner), and VIP invite (curated). Early Bird sold out in 4 days at ShopX 2025; waitlist gets the heads-up.
When and where exactly is ShopX 2026?
ShopX 2026 will be held in September 17, 2026 at New World Saigon Hotel.
Do I need a visa? How easy is it?
Vietnam's e-visa is among the most straightforward in APAC. Roughly USD $25, applied online via the official portal, valid up to 90 days, processed within 3 business days. Nearly every passport, no embassy interview. We'll send an invitation letter on request once you have a ticket.
How long is the flight from my city?
Saigon connects directly with daily flights to most APAC hubs: Bangkok ~1h35, Kuala Lumpur ~1h55, Singapore ~2h05, Hong Kong ~2h45, Manila ~2h50, Shenzhen ~3h, Jakarta ~3h20.
What's the typical cost to attend from APAC?
Saigon is one of APAC's more accessible cities for business travel. Rough ballpark: flight USD $250–400, 4★ hotel USD $80–120/night, meals USD $15–30/day. A 3-night stay from Singapore/Bangkok typically lands under USD $700 all-in. Curated hotel partner rates shared once venue confirms.
What languages will the program run in?
The main program runs in English. We provide Mandarin (中文) and Vietnamese interpretation for keynotes and Q&A on request — please flag on the form so we can confirm. Networking is mixed-language; many attendees are comfortable in 2–3 languages.
Will sessions be recorded?
Yes — stage sessions are professionally recorded and published on the ShopX YouTube playlist after the event. Day 2 workshops and networking remain in-person only to preserve the intimacy of those formats.
How does the waitlist work?
Smart-casual. ShopX is a working summit, so you can come to learn, demo, and network, not to dress to impress. Saigon weather in September: 26–32°C, humid, occasional afternoon showers — pack light layers.
Bring Your Brand into the AI Ecommerce Room
ShopX is looking for selected sponsors, speakers, and co-hosts who can help APAC ecommerce teams learn, connect, and move faster with AI.
