Sessions will be held from morning until early afternoon.

"When a retailer chooses Punchmark as their website partner, they're putting their trust in us to help grow their business, and we take that responsibility seriously,” said Jason Adams, director of education at Punchmark.

“We’re all about sharing our knowledge and expertise, and we love when our trusted partners do the same. That’s why we think this workshop is the perfect opportunity to collaborate—and hopefully have some fun while we're at it!"

Immediately following the first day’s sessions, Punchmark will host a rooftop cocktail hour at Fahrenheit.

The workshop will conclude with a dinner at Fin & Fino Restaurant in downtown Charlotte.

Registration is open now and limited to 60 attendees.
