Columbus, Ohio
The Junto Hotel
VIP Connect is Loop's inaugural partner summit, bringing together our top partners and Loop's executive leadership for a day built around one thing: helping you drive more revenue with Loop.
April 15 – 16, 2026
Columbus, Ohio
At VIP Connect, you’ll experience:
This isn't a conference. It's a full-day working session with the people building Loop.






VIP Connect is designed for Loop's leading agency, technology, logistics, and ecosystem partners. The partners who are all-in with Loop. The ones building practices, shipping integrations, and betting on the ecosystem. This event is our way of investing back into that commitment.
The day is intentionally structured around conversation over keynotes. The majority of the agenda is dedicated to small-group sessions, roundtables, and working breakouts designed to give you actionable insights and strategies for unlocking new revenue through Loop's products and features while learning from and collaborating directly with Loop's leadership.
Attendance is limited to two attendees per company to ensure an intimate, high-value experience for every guest.
Where Loop began and where the future continues to be built.
Venue: The Junto Hotel
The deadline to secure a room using our special rate has passed however, there are rooms available at The Junto for those who wish to stay on-site!

These are the Loop leaders who will be in the room with you all day, not just on stage, but at your table. From the AMA to the roundtables to the breakout sessions, you'll have direct access to the people behind Loop's biggest decisions.
