Beyond the Mandalay Bay convention floor, the real deals at Shoptalk 2026 are happening at these curated side events. Verified links, times, and hosts — no fluff.
RTM Nexus Picks: If you only hit a few events — prioritize smaller dinners, founder meetups, and anything capped. That’s where deals actually happen.
