The History Behind Commerce Roundtable

Commerce Roundtable was founded by Sendlane to bring the DTC community together for real conversations about growth. The first in-person event brought 50 founders and marketers from the cannabis industry around roundtables to swap ideas, tackle challenges, and spark collaboration.

When the world shut down, Commerce Roundtable adapted. The event transformed into a virtual series that brought together hundreds of founders and marketers eager to connect, learn, and support each other during a time of uncertainty.

As in-person events returned, we brought back Commerce Roundtable to San Diego. Hundreds of DTC founders and marketers came together IRL for two days filled with honest conversations, fresh ideas, and the kind of spark you only get face to face.

The community took ownership, officially acquiring Commerce Roundtable and expanding it to new markets like Miami and Austin. What started as a single roundtable has grown into a nationwide movement for DTC founders, brand leaders, and marketers who believe in learning together and building what’s next.
