Amazon sellers planning to attend Amazon Accelerate 2026 have entered the final registration window, with the three-day seller conference scheduled to begin September 22 at the Seattle Convention Center.
In an update posted on Seller Central, Amazon said registration for this year’s Accelerate event will close this week. The conference runs from September 22 through September 24 and is designed to help sellers improve operations, resolve account-related challenges, discover new tools, and identify opportunities to grow their businesses.
The event will bring together Amazon executives, product teams, subject-matter experts, service providers, and sellers. For businesses looking to better understand Amazon’s latest tools and selling strategies, Accelerate can also provide an early view of where the marketplace is heading.
Amazon Leaders to Discuss AI and Future of Selling
A key part of Accelerate 2026 will be a fireside discussion featuring Amit Agarwal, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Selling Partner Services, and Mary Beth Westmoreland. Amazon said the conversation will cover how artificial intelligence is already being used to support sellers, along with the company’s efforts to help selling partners grow sales, improve profitability, and operate their businesses more easily.
The discussion is also expected to provide insight into Amazon’s future direction for third-party sellers. AI is becoming increasingly important across ecommerce operations. Sellers are now using AI-supported tools for product listings, advertising, customer engagement, business analysis, and other areas. Sessions explaining Amazon’s own AI capabilities could therefore be particularly useful for sellers deciding how these tools fit into their workflows. Amazon has also shared a video message from Agarwal inviting sellers to attend Accelerate 2026.

More Than 150 Sessions Across 11 Topics
Amazon Accelerate 2026 will feature more than 150 sessions across 11 topic areas. The program includes workshops, panels, roundtable discussions, and more advanced sessions for experienced sellers. Topics are expected to cover areas such as pricing, profitability, brand building, account health, product launches, AI-powered strategies, and international expansion.
The wide range of sessions allows sellers to build an agenda around the issues most relevant to their businesses instead of following a single conference track. A seller struggling with margins, for example, may prioritize pricing and profitability sessions. A brand preparing to enter new markets could focus on international expansion. Sellers concerned about account performance can prioritize sessions covering account health and operational requirements.
Seller Café Offers Direct Access to Amazon Experts
Seller Café could be one of the most practical parts of the event for sellers dealing with specific account or business problems. Amazon said Seller Café will offer more than 50 appointment categories. Sellers can receive 30-minute consultations with Amazon subject-matter experts.
Advance online appointment bookings have already closed. However, Amazon said walk-up appointments will remain available during the conference on a first-come, first-served basis. Sellers hoping to use this service should consider arriving prepared with a clearly defined problem. Having relevant case IDs, account information, screenshots, performance data, or a brief timeline of an unresolved issue could help make a 30-minute consultation more productive.
The opportunity may be particularly useful for sellers dealing with complicated operational issues that have been difficult to resolve through normal support channels.
Innovation Hub and Seller Sandbox Offer Hands-On Experience
Accelerate 2026 will also include two experiences aimed at giving sellers closer access to Amazon’s product development process. At the Innovation Hub, attendees can explore demonstrations of emerging technologies and AI-powered selling tools.
The Seller Sandbox will allow sellers to test prototypes and provide feedback directly to Amazon design and product teams. For sellers, this creates an opportunity not only to learn about tools but also to communicate their own business requirements and pain points to teams involved in building Amazon products. Amazon has also added AI-powered strategy sessions, brand-building workshops, account health sessions, and an advanced product-launch workshop to this year’s program.
Partner Connect Brings Together More Than 70 Solutions
Sellers looking for outside tools and services can explore Partner Connect, which will feature more than 70 Amazon programs and service providers. The participating companies cover different parts of an Amazon business, including advertising, analytics, fulfillment, logistics, multichannel operations, taxation, accounting, and other seller services.
This could be valuable for growing businesses that are considering adding software, outsourcing parts of their operations, or comparing service providers. Instead of researching each provider separately, sellers attending Accelerate can speak directly with multiple companies and evaluate which solutions may fit their business requirements.
Networking Opportunities for Amazon Sellers
Accelerate is also designed to give sellers more opportunities to interact with each other. The Seller Networking Lounge will host topic-focused discussions where attendees can share experiences and discuss common business challenges.
Peer networking can be especially useful because many marketplace problems are not unique to one seller. Conversations with businesses operating in similar product categories or at similar growth stages can provide practical ideas that may not emerge from formal presentations. Amazon will also hold its Accelerate Block Party on Wednesday, September 23, at Seattle’s Space Needle and the Museum of Pop Culture.
What Sellers Should Do Before Attending
Sellers attending Accelerate can get more value from the conference by identifying their main priorities before arriving. Rather than trying to attend every available session, sellers may want to select a small number of business problems they want to solve.
These could include reducing advertising costs, improving profitability, expanding internationally, improving account health, identifying new fulfillment options, using AI more effectively, or finding tools to automate repetitive operations. Sellers interested in Seller Café walk-up consultations should also prepare their questions in advance because appointment availability is limited.
It can also be useful to review the conference agenda before arriving and identify relevant Amazon teams, service providers, workshops, and networking discussions.
Accelerate Is Amazon’s Annual Seller Conference
Amazon Accelerate has developed into one of Amazon’s major annual events for its selling partner community. An earlier Seller Central update described the 2026 conference as the seventh annual Amazon Accelerate event. Amazon has also said that 92.5 percent of attendees from the previous year reported that the experience was worth their time.
Earlier registration was offered at an early-bird price before that promotion ended in August. Sellers considering attending now should check the current registration page for the latest pricing, availability, and attendance requirements before making travel arrangements.
Why This Update Matters for Amazon Sellers
Accelerate is more than a series of presentations. For sellers, the main value may come from combining education, direct Amazon support, product demonstrations, and networking in one place. Sellers facing unresolved account problems may benefit from Seller Café consultations. Businesses trying to improve margins can focus on pricing and profitability sessions. Brands planning expansion can explore international selling strategies. Sellers interested in automation can see how Amazon is incorporating AI into its seller tools.
The Innovation Hub and Seller Sandbox can also give sellers an early look at technologies that could eventually become part of their everyday Seller Central operations.
With Amazon Accelerate 2026 beginning September 22 and registration closing this week, sellers interested in attending have limited time to make a decision. Those who register should prepare a focused agenda around their most important business challenges so they can make the most of the three-day event in Seattle.
