​About Event

​NYC Amazon Seller Meetup: Prime Day Readiness is an in-person gathering for Amazon sellers, brand owners, and ecommerce operators preparing for one of the most important sales moments of the year.

​Prime Day is not only a growth opportunity. It is also a pressure test.

​Before the traffic spike begins, sellers need to make sure their listings, accounts, operations, and advertising decisions are ready. A small issue before Prime Day can lead to wasted ad spend, suppressed listings, compliance problems, missed sales, or unnecessary operational stress.

​This meetup will focus on practical strategies to help Amazon sellers prepare more effectively before Prime Day.

​We’ll cover how to reduce potential damage before Prime Day, how to think about account and listing risk, and how to use Amazon PPC automation and search term optimization to make smarter advertising decisions during a highly competitive sales period.

​Expect short expert-led sessions, candid Q&A, and high-signal networking with Amazon sellers, brand owners, and marketplace professionals in New York City.
