Amazon Accelerate 2026 registration opened with a direct warning: appointments are limited and fill fast. Seller Café one-on-one time is a genuinely scarce resource that disappears quickly once registration opens.
What Seller Café Actually Is, and Why It Matters More Than the Sessions
Seller Café connects attendees one-on-one with Amazon experts for personalized guidance specific to their own business. Amazon expanded appointment categories this year based on direct seller feedback. A 2025 attendee said: "I appreciated the ability to meet and talk face to face with real humans who cared. I was treated like an important Seller."
The Two Ways to Book, and Why the Difference Matters
Pre-scheduled consultation is a focused 30-minute in-person session booked in advance. Walk-up is a 30-minute conversation scheduled on-site, first come, first served. Each attendee can book one of each, subject to availability.
If you have a specific business question, book the pre-scheduled consultation immediately rather than relying on the walk-up line.
What to Prepare Before Your Appointment
Bring specific data relevant to your question, actual conversion rate, actual ACoS, actual account health metrics. Explore our Amazon Fee Calculator and other free tools for Amazon sellers to have concrete numbers ready.
A useful way to test whether your question is specific enough before you book: compare "How do I improve my advertising" against "My ACoS on my top three ASINs jumped from 18 percent to 31 percent over the last six weeks, and I have not changed bids, what should I check first." The second version gives an Amazon expert something concrete to actually diagnose in 30 minutes. The first invites a generic answer you could have gotten from a help article.
What the Session Catalog Actually Covers
More than 80 sessions across 11 breakout topics, filterable by topic, format, or experience level. The Agenda Builder unlocks after registration to save favorites and plan your three days.
