DSU SPRING 2026
APRIL 14-16, 2026
THE WESTIN GALLERIA / DALLAS, TX
The Future of Social Commerce in Direct Selling
The way people discover, evaluate and purchase products has fundamentally changed. Social commerce has moved the entire customer journey—from discovery to checkout—into the feeds, lives and communities where people already spend their time. For direct selling, this isn't a disruption. It's an evolution of what this channel has always done best: turning relationships into revenue.
At DSU Spring 2026 (April 14-16 at the Westin Galleria in Dallas), two visionary leaders will share how they're redefining social commerce through innovative compensation models, cutting-edge technology and digital-first strategies that are driving unprecedented growth.
