Subscribe Pro was born out of a Magento development agency and their founder has been working with Magento since the early days. The company is extremely involved in the Magento Community and are no stranger to PreImagine. They made their first appearance in 2013, and have even been involved as sponsors in the past.

Subscribe Pro is the leading SaaS subscription commerce solution for Magento. They integrate closely with Magento and allow merchants to run replenishment, club and membership subscription programs. Subscribe Pro works to help brands increase the average customer lifetime value (LTV) for their most loyal customers.

We interviewed Garth Brantley, CEO of Subscribe Pro, to get insight on the Subscribe Pro PreImagine experience and to see what they look forward to most this year:

Where will you be traveling to Las Vegas from? 

We will be travelling from Baltimore, MD, home of the Ravens and Orioles, where we are based.

What does being apart of the Magento Community mean to you?

Absolutely the best part of working with Magento is the Community. It has been humbling to witness what this community can do and it’s an honor to be able to give back a little bit by supporting events such as #preimagine.

We are always growing and learning. Is there any one thing you would like to learn during this year’s conference?

Yes, learning and growth makes life great, and is essential in eCommerce and any tech related field. I’d say I’m most excited to learn about what other folks in the industry are doing to apply new technologies to expand eCommerce beyond the web. Things like PWA’s, Alexa, Google Home, etc.

Also, AI has been hot in the wider tech world for a while now and I’m pretty excited to learn about new ways it’s being applied to eCommerce.

How would you describe your first PreImagine experience?

I want to say that was maybe 2013? I remember baking in the hot sun around the pool at the M hotel and developers downing shots of vodka.

What did you find most enjoyable about sponsoring and attending PreImagine last year?

PreImagine has consistently been the most enjoyable industry networking event I’ve attended. The level of energy and enthusiasm from a diverse range of attendees is always inspiring.

What do you plan to do different this year to improve your experience?

Last year our travel schedules had us dealing with logistics issues during the event. We plan arrive early and maximize time spent enjoying the event and engaging with our fellow Magento Community members.

What are you looking forward to most this year?

Excited to see what the new venue and larger capacity bring for the event.

What would you list as the biggest benefit of attending PreImagine?

Networking with a diverse range of folks from the industry.

Do you have any advice for first time attendees?

Arrive early and rested, pre-hydrate.

Are you exhibiting at Magento Imagine? If so, do you want to share anything exciting you have in-store for people visiting your booth?

Yes. We’re pretty excited about the conference this year in general, and we’re lining up some fun goodies for the booth.
