Can I register and pay on-site?

No, advanced registration is required. Registration for our 2023 event is closed. We’ll announce the details of our 2024 event soon!

Where is the event taking place?

The 2023 mystery shopping workshop took place in in Austin, TX on Saturday, August 26th from 9:30am - 5:00pm. We’ll announce plans for 2024 soon!

Can I attend Talking Shop virtually?

Unfortunately not from the 2023 event. Talking Shop is an in-person event to get hands-on mystery shopping training. As our speakers will cover some client-sensitive information during the sessions, we require all attendees agree to our Independent Contractor’s Agreement to ensure confidentiality. This isn’t something we can monitor through a virtual offering at this time, but we’re exploring it for 2024!

Can I attend Talking Shop if I’m not a current mystery shopper?

Absolutely! We offer 2 learning session tracks during the event, one geared for those just getting started and another for our more seasoned mystery shoppers.

What will I get out of attending?

We’re offering a packed day of learning sessions that cover all the mystery shopping basics, getting you set up on some select programs, the ins and outs of the business and so much more. Our expert speakers will give you many tips and tricks on how to start and expand your mystery shopping business. It’s also a great time to network with the iShopFor Ipsos team and your fellow mystery shoppers!

What’s the difference between the VIP and General registration tickets?

VIP registration includes an invite to our welcome reception the Friday before the event. This is a special time of networking and getting to know the iShopFor Ipsos leadership team and program managers personally. It also includes everything that comes with general registration.

General registration gets you access to the Saturday workshop, all of our learning sessions and complimentary lunch and snacks.

I’ve worked with Ipsos for a while, is it still worth it to attend?

Absolutely! We offer two learning tracks, one that is geared just for our seasoned shoppers! There are also lots of opportunities to network with the iShopFor Ipsos Leadership team and your fellow shoppers. We’re all about helping you grow your business - with iShopFor Ipsos and beyond. We’d love to connect with you!
