Three weeks from today (technically, yesterday), the world’s largest direct-to-consumer subscription conference will open its doors for the seventh consecutive year.
What started in 2016 as a networking opportunity for subscription box owners has become an all-encompassing experience that gathers subscriptionpreneurs from all six segments of the industry.
This year, the stage is set for one of the most immersive experiences any entrepreneur could ask for, and that’s because of the theme we’ve chosen for SubSummit 2022: Shift [& Discover].
Together, we’ll…
- Shift strategies & Discover new opportunities
- Shift perspectives & Discover new horizons
- Shift your approach & Discover new processes
In honor of the 7th anniversary of the conference, here are seven SubSummit 2022 sessions you must attend if you want to unlock the next phase of your subscription.

The Subscription Death Curve – What It Is and How You Can Avoid It
Every subscription company at SubSummit will eventually hit what the Bold Commerce team calls “The Subscription Death Curve.”
It’s the flatline when you start churning the same number of customers as you acquire. The good news? There is a way to escape the death curve, and Jay Myers will show you how.
The seven subscription experts featured above are part of the best SubSummit speaker lineup we’ve ever assembled in the conference’s history. They’ll be joined by other brilliant entrepreneurs, marketers, and thought leaders representing some of the best subscription brands in the industry, like HelloFresh, Wyze, DoorDash, Netflix, and dozens more, including BootayBag and its CEO, Ellyette Gheno.
“If you’re in this space, you need to be at SubSummit,” says Gheno. “Every time I leave the event, I am super excited to test the strategies and tactics that I learned. Whether your goal is to increase subscribers or meet new partners, you’ll get exposed to so many opportunities and connections you never knew existed.”
As I said before, SubSummit is an all-encompassing experience, which means there’s a lot more to look forward to than the speakers and their sessions.
