Kiosks that start retail deals: CommerceNext 2027 booths in New York
CommerceNext is two days of retail leaders, 1:1 meetings and a Discovery Lounge of 100+ tech partners, so your kiosk has to name the e-commerce result in one line. North Javits is a union building with strict self-setup limits, and the kiosk is built in Fishkill, a morning drive up the Hudson.
- Jun 8–9 · North Javits
- 2,500+ retail leaders
- 1,000+ 1:1 meetings
What makes CommerceNext different, and how we build for it
CommerceNext Growth Show is a retail conference where the tech partners come to the retailers, not the other way round.Scaled retailers and DTC brands attend free or from $150, while vendors pay $3,995, and the 1:1 Meetings Program sets up 1,000+ double opt-in meetings between brands and sponsors. Sponsors show in the Discovery Lounge, which CommerceNext fills with 100+ solution providers next to a Brand Bodega of product drops. Speakers come from Ulta Beauty, Tractor Supply and Boot Barn, and the 2027 show moves to North Javits. A kiosk that names one conversion or retention result is the one a retail VP stops at between sessions.
One clear result for conversion, search or site speed, a short demo on a retailer's own type of storefront and a meeting slot through the 1:1 program.
Proof the channel or tool pays back for a brand their size, a customer story they recognise and a contact who owns onboarding.
A view of how the tool connects store, app and fulfillment, with someone who can answer the integration question.
Your team in New York
How Purple delivers CommerceNext 2027 at North Javits
The kiosk is framed and printed in Fishkill, NY, a morning's drive up the Hudson, and one labeled shipment goes to the target in the CommerceNext kit through the Javits marshaling facility. On the floor, a Purple project manager leads the Javits Teamsters, carpenters and electricians through set-up and teardown, and the kiosk returns to Fishkill storage after June 9.
New at CommerceNext 2027
- Moves to North Javits
CommerceNext calls North Javits its new home for 2027, so kiosks follow Javits union and self-setup rules and freight goes through the marshaling facility. source
- Live Demo format
The Ecommerce Tech Innovations track adds a new Live Demo format, a reason to keep a demo-ready screen and staff near your kiosk during that track. source
Inside CommerceNext 2027
CommerceNext rules that shape your booth
Solution providers register on the $3,995 vendor ticket; retailer and press passes are reserved for retailers, brands and working reporters. We plan booth staffing with you so ticket counts match the kiosk.
Hand-built displays of up to 250 square feet by full-time company staff, without tools or ladders, are the only self-setup allowed; larger or tool-built displays are union carpenter work. We design to the rule or schedule the carpenters.
Connections Housing is CommerceNext's only housing partner, and the organizer warns against third-party housing companies. We book crew rooms through the official link before the June 1 cutoff.
Programs worth planning for
Double opt-in meetings between scaled retailers or DTC brands and sponsors, 1,000+ on site; retailers apply free with travel reimbursement, sponsors buy meeting packages.
The partner floor with 100+ solution providers and the Brand Bodega; sponsors take kiosks and activations here, and every ticket includes access.
Part of the Ecommerce Tech Innovations track, where attendees choose the winner; the track also adds a new Live Demo format.
CommerceNext is the June retail conference where 2,500+ retail and DTC leaders meet tech partners at North Javits; choose it over Shoptalk when you want a smaller New York room built around 1:1 meetings and kiosks. Compare all the software and cloud shows we build for →

02 Booths & pricing for CommerceNext 2027
How much does a CommerceNext 2027 kiosk or sponsorship cost?
CommerceNext sells kiosks and activations, 1:1 meeting packages, branding and dinners rather than open booth space, and does not publish kiosk sizes. We build to the kiosk or activation footprint CommerceNext assigns: a branded counter, a screen, lighting and a place to hold a short meeting.
When an activation is this size: a demo counter, a lit backdrop naming the retail result and a small high table for a quick follow-up.
Shown: Barantech, a Purple inline booth
See 10×20 rental booths →
A larger activation with a welcome counter, two demo screens and a seated corner for 1:1 meetings that run long.

Larger than CommerceNext usually sells; the same graphics scale to a 20×20 island at NRF or Shoptalk for the same retail buyers.

- Electrical, internet and rigging orders for CommerceNext

Rates to plan with for CommerceNext:
- Vendor ticket $3,995 per solution provider, 2027 source
- Drayage About $195 per cwt, 200 lb minimum (2026–2027 planning) source

All-in 2026 rental ranges: design, structure, graphics, installation and dismantle are included, and custom CommerceNext builds are quoted per project. The booth cost calculator gives an exact number for your CommerceNext booth; the 2026 booth cost guide has the 2026 ranges.

The booth we would build for CommerceNext 2027
The Discovery Lounge kiosk with a 15-minute table
CommerceNext sells kiosks and activations, not open booth space, and each of its 1:1 meetings lasts 15 minutes. So the play is a compact kiosk with one bold retail result, an eye-level screen and a small table that hosts a scheduled meeting while the demo keeps running for walk-ups, sized where it helps to the Javits rule that lets your own staff hand-build displays of 250 square feet or less.
Result header
One line about the conversion, retention or margin change you deliver, readable across the Discovery Lounge.
Demo screen
An eye-level screen running a storefront or customer journey, with a staffer driving it for walk-ups.
Fifteen-minute table
A round table and two stools for the scheduled 1:1 meetings, with a hook for bags and coats.
The demo
Show a retailer their kind of store getting a better number: a product page, a cart or a loyalty email before and after your tool, finished in the gap between two sessions.
The meetings
The 1:1 Meetings Program is double opt-in: retailers pick sponsors in a portal about four weeks out, schedules go out about two weeks out, and each meeting runs 15 minutes. Build the kiosk so meeting and demo run side by side, and keep a printed schedule on the counter.
Same traffic. Bigger baskets.
At CommerceNext, your team walks into a lit, stocked booth. You just show up.

Designing a CommerceNext kiosk for the Discovery Lounge
1A kiosk that reads in one line
The Discovery Lounge puts 100+ partners side by side with fun stops such as color analysis and custom hats. We give your kiosk one bold line about the retail result and a screen at eye level, so it stands out without shouting.
2Under 250 square feet, still union
The Javits lets a company assemble its own display only when it covers no more than 250 square feet, its own full-time staff do the work, and nobody uses tools or a ladder. We design a kiosk that fits that rule when it helps, or bring carpenters through the show when it does not.
3Meetings booked in advance
The 1:1 Meetings Program runs 1,000+ double opt-in meetings, so many conversations arrive scheduled. We add a visible meeting surface and storage for bags, and keep the demo running beside it for walk-ups.
4Freight through the marshaling yard
Javits trucks check in at the in-building marshaling facility and wait for a dock call. We send one consolidated shipment from Fishkill, crated and labeled with show and booth, so a two-day show never waits on a late truck.
Concept rendering
Your CommerceNext proposal comes with a rendering like this

Where you could be at CommerceNext 2027
CommerceNext names North Javits but has not published a floor plan. These are the building facts from Purple's Javits venue guide that shape a kiosk there.
North Javits (2021 expansion)
The expansion added a block of contiguous exhibit space to the north plus a column-free special events hall and a ballroom above it.
Our advice Carpeted event rooms mean light builds and no forklifts; we plan kiosks that carry and assemble by hand.
Truck marshaling facility
Carriers queue inside a four-level truck building at the Javits until a dock opens for them.
Our advice We send one labeled shipment on the assigned target, so freight is on the floor the morning it is needed.
05 North Javits Center · New York
CommerceNext 2027 North Javits freight, labor and self-setup rules
North Javits is the 2021 expansion end of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center on Eleventh Avenue, and the building's rules apply: Teamsters move freight from dock to booth, carpenters erect displays, and electricians handle power and lit signs. Exhibitor staff may build their own display only when it covers 250 square feet or less, is handled by the exhibitor's full-time staff, without tools or ladders. Freight queues indoors at the marshaling building until the dock calls it, and Purple's planning estimate for drayage is about $195 per hundredweight in 2026 and 2027. CommerceNext has not published its 2027 kit, so we read it when issued and file the orders. The kiosk leaves our Fishkill, NY shop finished, and a Purple project manager directs the Javits trades on the floor through set-up and teardown.
What Purple handles
- Kiosk and activation design to CommerceNext's footprint
- Javits labor plan, including the 250 square foot self-setup option
- One consolidated shipment from Fishkill through the marshaling facility

CommerceNext 2027 notes for Discovery Lounge sponsors
Each 1:1 meeting runs 15 minutes; retailers make their picks in the portal about four weeks before the show and get schedules about two weeks out, so keep sellers free for those slots. source
Retailers and brands in the meetings program earn up to $2,000 in travel reimbursement once they take a few double opt-in meetings with solution providers, which is why the buyers on your schedule turn up. source
Every solution provider staffer pays the $3,995 vendor ticket; retailer and press passes are reserved for retailers, brands and working reporters, so budget passes per person at the kiosk. source
Connections Housing is CommerceNext's only housing partner, with show rates through June 1, 2027, and the organizer warns against third-party housing callers. source
The Ecommerce Tech Innovations track adds a Live Demo format and a startup showcase in which attendees pick the winner; if you enter, put a second demo driver on the kiosk during that track. source
Who you meet on the floor
SVPs and VPs of digital, e-commerce and marketing sit on the buyer side of the 1:1 program, choosing partners for the year ahead.
CEOs, CMOs, CTOs and CFOs of retailers and DTC brands are among the meeting participants CommerceNext lists.
They come to compare data, CDP, fulfillment and store technology vendors in one place.
They can attend free, walk the Brand Bodega and kiosks, and look for tools that grow repeat orders.

CommerceNext exhibitor questions
CommerceNext Growth Show 2027 sponsor questions
When is CommerceNext 2027?
The CommerceNext Growth Show 2027 runs June 8–9, 2027 in New York City. The 2025 edition ran June 24–26, 2025, also in New York.
Where is CommerceNext 2027 held?
CommerceNext moves to the North Javits Center, 445 11th Avenue, New York, which the organizer calls its new home. Hudson Yards, the 7 line's last stop, sits one block east of the convention center.
How much is a vendor ticket for CommerceNext?
Solution providers pay $3,995 for a vendor ticket. Retailers and brands pay $150 on the early-bird offer through January 10, 2027, normally $750, and scaled retailers can attend free.
How do we exhibit at CommerceNext?
By buying a sponsor package: packages can include Discovery Lounge kiosks and activations, 1:1 meetings, keynotes, breakout tables, branding and retail dinners. CommerceNext sends the full menu from its sponsor team; we build the kiosk or activation once the footprint is set.
What is the CommerceNext Discovery Lounge?
It is the show's partner floor, with 100+ solution providers and a Brand Bodega of product drops, plus stops such as personal color analysis and custom trucker hats. Every ticket includes access to it and to exhibitor activations.
How many people attend CommerceNext?
CommerceNext reports 2,500+ retail and DTC decision-makers, 150+ speakers and 60+ sessions. It also reports a 35% year-over-year increase in sponsors.
What is the CommerceNext 1:1 Meetings Program?
It is a double opt-in program where retailers and sponsors both agree to meet, with 1,000+ on-site meetings. Scaled retailers and DTC brands apply free and can receive travel reimbursement.
Who sponsors CommerceNext 2027?
The 2027 sponsor page shows 143 logo listings, including Klaviyo, Scayle, Braze, Bazaarvoice, Gorgias, Listrak and Mixpanel. Most sell commerce, marketing, data or CX technology to retailers.
Can we set up our own kiosk at the Javits?
Only a small one: a kiosk covering no more than 250 square feet, put up by people on your own payroll without a tool or ladder, may skip union labor at the Javits. Anything larger or tool-built goes to union carpenters, which we schedule and supervise.
What does drayage cost at the Javits?
Purple's planning estimate is about $195 per hundredweight in 2026 and 2027, with a 200-pound minimum, which makes it one of the costliest floors in the country. Light kiosks keep that line small.
Where should we stay for CommerceNext 2027?
Connections Housing is CommerceNext's exclusive housing partner, with discounted rooms through June 1, 2027. CommerceNext warns about unauthorized third-party housing companies.
When should we start our CommerceNext 2027 kiosk?
In late March 2027. Design sign-off then leaves room for production upstate and time for Javits orders in May. Smaller kiosks can move faster when your package is signed later.
Can we reuse the CommerceNext kiosk elsewhere?
Yes. The same artwork and counter suit eTail Palm Springs and Shoptalk, and the graphics scale to an NRF booth at the Javits. Fishkill storage keeps it close to New York between shows.
What is the difference between CommerceNext and Shoptalk?
CommerceNext is the smaller New York show built on 1:1 meetings and kiosks: 2,500+ retail and DTC leaders over two days at North Javits. Shoptalk Spring is a larger Las Vegas event in March. Choose CommerceNext for scheduled meetings with retailers.
Before you sign for CommerceNext
Five questions to ask any exhibit builder for CommerceNext:
- Can our kiosk stay within the Javits 250 square foot self-setup rule, and if not, who books the carpenters?
- How will our freight move through the Javits marshaling facility so it reaches North Javits on the right morning?
- What will drayage cost at about $195 per hundredweight, and what does a lighter kiosk save?
- Can the kiosk hold a 15-minute meeting and a walk-up demo at the same time?
- How long is the drive from your Fishkill shop to Eleventh Avenue, and can you store the kiosk there until next year?
What CommerceNext exhibitors ask us
We only get a kiosk. Is a custom build worth it? A small one is. CommerceNext assigns kiosk footprints, so we spend on the header, the screen and a meeting table, then reuse the kit at eTail Palm Springs or Shoptalk; a kiosk inside the 250 square foot self-setup rule can go up without Javits carpenters.
North Javits is new for this show. What changes? The building's union rules: Teamsters move freight from dock to booth, carpenters erect displays and electricians handle power, and trucks queue in the marshaling facility for a dock call. Purple plans drayage at about $195 per hundredweight, so light kits save money.
Most meetings are pre-booked. Why invest in the kiosk? Because the pre-booked meeting lands there. A 15-minute slot goes better at a branded table with a running demo, and walk-ups from the Brand Bodega and the sessions fill the time between slots.
