Participate in a Special Interest Group
Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are merchant-only discussion forums that provide industry-specific space for merchants to share ideas, discuss challenges, and ask for insights from like-minded peers. Each SIG is led by merchants while a neutral third party captures anonymized notes which can be found on the MAG Learning Center.
SIGs meet in person at both of MAG's bi-annual conferences and hold a virtual meeting series in the summer. At the conferences, SIGs run concurrently to one another, while the summer sessions are spread over two weeks, allowing merchants to participate in multiple SIGs.
