    About GROW

    GROW is Superco's event series for ecommerce founders and teams.

    Each GROW event focuses on one sector, with talks from founders, operators and the platforms they use. GROW F&B covered the problems food and drink brands raise with us most: building a brand that lasts, turning trial into repeat purchase and being found in AI search.

    If you run a food and drink brand on Shopify, see how we work with food and drink brands, or read the recaps from our other events.
