The event is a professional gathering focused on the industry and subject area identified in its program. It serves business owners\, buyers\, sellers\, brand representatives\, distributors\, service providers\, and professionals working in the event’s commercial sector. The conference format gives participating organizations a set period for education\, business meetings\, product or service review\, and discussion of current operating issues. Admission rules vary by organizer\, and attendees should use the official event website for current credential\, membership\, buyer\, exhibitor\, or public-access requirements. \nThe program centers on market and product education\, exhibits or supplier presentations\, business operations discussion\, buyer-seller meetings\, and professional networking. Conference sessions generally separate strategic topics from technical or operational material so that executives\, practitioners\, and supplier representatives can follow the portions relevant to their work. When an exhibit component is included\, it functions as a business marketplace where organizations compare products\, services\, equipment\, and implementation approaches. Scheduled meetings\, panels\, workshops\, demonstrations\, and informal professional discussions provide additional context for decisions that continue after the event. \nFor organizations sending teams\, the event can support several business functions at once. Managers can review policy\, workforce\, finance\, and market issues; practitioners can focus on methods\, standards\, and case examples; and purchasing or partnership teams can meet vendors and other organizations. The event website should be treated as the controlling source for the final agenda because session times\, exhibit hours\, eligibility rules\, and individual program elements may change. The calendar dates in this listing describe the published event window rather than setup\, move-in\, or private functions unless the organizer states otherwise. \nThe Las Vegas edition places the event within a city that regularly hosts national association meetings\, trade exhibitions\, corporate conferences\, and specialized professional programs. This listing does not assume that every prior edition was held in Las Vegas. Where an organizer publishes an archive\, prior agendas and exhibitor materials may help distinguish recurring program elements from features introduced for this edition. The current event remains defined by its published dates\, official program\, and venue assignment. \nPlanning information should be read according to participant role. Exhibitor access\, freight and installation schedules\, buyer or professional credentials\, continuing-education rules\, and guest admission may each follow different procedures. Published conference dates can also include workshops\, receptions\, or association meetings that are not part of the main exhibit hours. The organizer’s agenda and registration terms provide the appropriate detail for each participant type and should be checked again as the event approaches. \nLocation\nFlamingo Las Vegas is the listed Las Vegas host venue. The event’s sessions\, meetings\, and exhibit functions are expected to use the facility areas assigned by the organizer. Attendees should check the organizer’s final materials for the assigned hall\, ballroom\, registration area\, hotel block\, and any functions scheduled away from the primary venue. Transportation\, parking\, loading\, and badge-access procedures depend on the property and on whether the participant is attending as a delegate\, exhibitor\, speaker\, contractor\, or guest. \nShopCon 2026 is therefore listed as an industry-focused Las Vegas convention rather than as a general tourism event. Its practical purpose is to concentrate professional education\, organizational activity\, market information\, and business interaction into a defined program for the community it serves.

Nick approaches technology as a generalist while continually exploring the intersection of psychology and technology\, with much of his research focused on OSINT\, anti-stalking efforts\, and what he calls “Digital Self Defense.” \nThis presentation explores the differences in motivation\, mindset\, and understanding of technology between hackers and information security professionals. While the two may be closely connected\, they can approach technology—and the problems they are trying to solve—from very different perspectives. \nWhether you’re just beginning your cybersecurity career or have been in the industry for years\, this conversation offers a chance to look beyond job titles and certifications and consider what we can learn from hacker culture\, how hackers think\, and what those differences mean for today’s security professionals. \nCome curious. Leave with a different perspective on the people\, psychology\, and motivations behind cybersecurity.

This year’s theme\, “Nevada’s Next Chapter: Leading the Future Through Sustainable Growth\,” reflects a defining moment for Nevada and the world. As highlighted in the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2026\, today’s geopolitical and economic instability may dominate the near-term conversation\, but environmental risks — including extreme weather\, ecosystem collapse\, and resource scarcity — increasingly define the long-term global outlook\, accounting for half of the top 10 global risks over the next decade. \nFor Nevada\, these challenges are not theoretical — they are already reshaping our communities\, economy\, infrastructure\, and quality of life. From extreme heat and water stress to rapid growth\, technological disruption\, housing pressures\, and economic diversification\, Nevada is emerging as both a proving ground and first responder for the future of sustainable development in the American West. ConveneNV 2026 will bring together approximately 300 leaders from across sectors to explore how Nevada can lead through innovation\, resilience\, and cross-sector collaboration while balancing the environmental\, economic\, social\, and technological risks shaping the next decade. Through keynote conversations\, roundtables\, and strategic dialogue\, ConveneNV will examine not only the risks ahead — but the opportunity for Nevada to help define what sustainable growth looks like in a rapidly changing world.

That’s useful information\, but it answers a different question. A competitor’s price tells you where you sit in the market. It tells you nothing about whether that number works for your business. This session walks founders through the three numbers that set your real range. Your floor\, which is what one sale actually costs you once you count everything that touches it. Your comps\, which are about positioning rather than price. And your ceiling\, which is what the thing is worth to the person buying it\, and is usually higher than it looks from the inside. The session covers how these numbers differ across industries\, from restaurants to software to services\, and how to find yours. Attendees will learn: What one sale really costs\, including the costs that never show up on an invoice Why the same product can make money in one channel and lose money in another\, and why the blended number hides it What unit economics look like in a restaurant\, a service business\, a software company\, and an e-commerce store What competitor pricing does and does not tell you How to find what your product is worth to the buyer\, not just what it costs you to deliver How to tell whether you have a pricing problem or a cost problem What to check before your next price change Who It’s For Founders and small business owners at any stage\, in any industry. No finance background\, spreadsheet\, or revenue required. About the Speaker The session is led by Iryna Krutsenko\, Founder of Nine Lives Strategy\, a strategic finance practice serving early-stage founders and small businesses. Iryna has spent more than ten years in financial planning and analysis\, including corporate FP&A at an international specialty retailer\, PE-backed growth companies\, and the public sector. She now works with founders on pricing\, unit economics\, and the financial models investors actually read. Her focus is making numbers understandable: she doesn’t just build the model\, she teaches founders to read and defend their own. She helps startups raise money and business owners stop losing it.
