Retail Runs On iOS — San Clemente — World Tour 2026
● World Tour 2026 · The Retreat
Where the top retailers in the world come together.
From Stores to Stages
This isn't a conference. It's a retreat.
The World Tour pulls up to the California coast — and brings the top retailers in the world with it.
San Clemente is the only retreat stop on the tour. Born from the same rebels, built for the same legends. Apple's enterprise team is on the lineup. So is every leader you've been meaning to compare notes with.
See you on the coast,

What's covered?
Three nights at The Inn at San Juan Capistrano, ground transportation between the airports and the hotel, every meal on the agenda, and an evening on the water. Flights are on you — the Retail Runs On iOS Team runs the rest.
Can I bring a guest?
No — this one is invitation-only and for the named attendee. We're keeping the lineup tight.
What's the dress code?
Coastal-casual throughout.
What airports should I fly into?
SNA (John Wayne) is closest and easiest. LAX works too — we've got transportation from both. Driving in? Flag it on the form and we'll send parking details.
By when do you need a response?
Sooner the better. Reach out anytime with questions before you commit.
