2027 at a glance
Events
35 to 40 curated events, down from about 50. At each big show: one marquee experience and one easy drop-in.
Rooms
Local co-hosts in every city bring senior guests who fit your ICP.
Packages
Intros, feedback calls, back-channeling, events and research in one plan, so every piece works together.
Our edge: intent signals
Most networks match on title and company size. We match on what a member told us, posted or did this month.
How we work with partners
Partners who use all four see the best results. Events build the relationship, intros book the meeting, feedback calls start the conversation early and pipeline support helps close.
Warm, double opt-in meetings with members who need what you sell. You approve every intro in Storm Spot, our partner portal, and see the signal behind it.
Curated dinners, roundtables and big conference nights with your buyers in the room. We ICP-match every guest list to the partners hosting, so the seats go to the titles, company sizes and categories you sell to. Last 12 months: 50 events, 1,073 seats, 697 unique executives.
Paid calls with members evaluating your category, for buyers who aren't ready to buy yet. Every call pays the member $100, and gift cards are included in every Full Partnership.
A trusted word inside the account when a deal stalls. A few 2026 examples:
Also in 2026: GreenPan, Jordan Craig, Dagne Dover, Clove, Aetrex and 20+ more.
Where we show up
Built around the conference weeks your buyers already attend, with every guest list ICP-matched to our partners. Dates may shift with the conference calendar.
New mini summits for 2027, about 75 people each. Dates and cities still being set.
Smaller rooms that run throughout the year, beyond the big conference weeks.

How it works
Inside the rooms
From our partner and guest surveys
2026 Summit sponsors surveyed would come back
guest rating for our Zuma dinner at Shoptalk
“I was able to get visibility for our brand in front of the types of brands and stakeholders I sell to best. And within a day I’d already walked away with three deals.”
“The Storm King people are so much more engaged on calls, asking tons of questions. Far better than any other network we sponsor.”
“Attendees had their guard down way less than at other events I’ve attended.”
“Great brand decision makers in a non salesy setting.”
“Focused group of marketing leaders, no expo hall, structure of the day, and communal seating area for casual conversations.”
“Sponsor hosts were all super friendly, easy to find, and easy to chat with.”
House rules
Members never pay, and they tell us the best part is that nobody's selling to them. Keeping it that way is what makes your intros land.
Who we work with
These are the same 12 topics our members talk about in Slack, at roundtables and over dinner, so partners in these spaces meet buyers already in the conversation.
