What is the WPN Retailer Summit?

It's the can't-miss event of the year: the WPN Retailer Summit is your opportunity to get a peek behind the curtain and listen to speakers from teams all around Wizards of the Coast. The summit will be hosted online, through Zoom.

The presentation will be supported with subtitles in the following languages:

• Chinese (Simplified)
• Chinese (Traditional)
• English
• French
• German
• Italian
• Japanese
• Korean
• Portuguese
• Spanish

You'll hear from Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons product teams about upcoming products. The play and community teams will share details about in-store play and community growth. You'll also hear from sales, marketing, and digital tech teams with upcoming news tailored to you: our retailers.

The summit doesn't end at the presentation—at the end, speakers from the presentation will answer your most burning questions in a Q&A segment. You'll submit your questions in advance when you sign up.

Earn a $100 Promotional Marketing Material Credit for Registering! (U.S. and Canada only)

The Wizards Play Network team has just unlocked a huge new benefit for attending the WPN Virtual Retailer Summit—all WPN retailers in the United States and Canada who attend will have a $100 Promotional Marketing Credit added to their store’s account on the WPN Marketing Portal! During the summit, we’ll be unveiling the details around the expansion of the WPN Marketing Portal to all retailers in the U.S. and Canada. This expansion will give your store access to a wide suite of Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons customizable marketing materials that fit your business.

If you already registered for the WPN Retailer Summit, you're all set to receive the promotional credit—no further action is needed from you.

When signing up, remember to provide your store email address, not your Wizards Account email.

To help explain just how epic this benefit is, here are two quick examples. With $100 Promotional Marketing credits, you could print five 18" x 24" gorgeous Magic-branded posters with your store name, set art, and custom printed event information. Or you could order an A-Frame Sidewalk Sign Holder fixture which we’ll continue to produce signage for ahead of each release. There are dozens of options on the portal, so that’s just the beginning. Plus, for launch, the Wizards Play Network Team will cover the shipping!

How Do I Sign Up for the WPN Retailer Summit?

In the coming month, you'll receive an email with additional details about the summit, plus a link to sign up for the event. While we do expect to be able to support sign-ups until the day of the event, each signup must be processed, so we strongly encourage you to sign up as soon as you receive your email to receive the invitation to view the summit.

We hope you're looking forward to a jam-packed WPN Retailer Summit on November 12. Save the date on your calendar now and look forward to receiving an email with more information.
