TeamSPS 2021 Kubb Tournament
TeamSPS had a great time playing Kubb today, connecting with colleagues, and having a fun time. We weren’t able to have this event in 2020 due to COVID-19, but thanks to vaccines we were able to throw some batons together! Several people commented how much they loved this event. Here are some selected photos from Tim Van Cleave who was so generous to volunteer as official photographer! He has an entire album of additional shots as well.
You can also see the official SPS Tech Blog post on the Kubb event, and looks back to our 2019 and 2018 events. This event got real momentum after we did Kubb at Tech Jam in 2016. The first introduction was a Kubb Class in 2014 that was part of our SPS Charity Auction. Kubb has some deep roots with Team SPS!
We had our very first quarterly company meeting with some of the team in-person, masked, at the Minneapolis Convention Center. It was great to see so many of #TeamSPS together for the first time in so long.
I love the #TeamSPS Cyberweek 2020 Shirt, and for the first time a paired challenge coin! 🪙 The challenge coin was also minted as an NFT. We also included the themed deck of playing cards. ♠️ Thank you to Kat Alberts for the great design.
2021 Minnesota Aspirations in Computing Award Ceremony
Great night joining the Minnesota Aspirations in Computing Award Ceremony tonight and recognizing so many young women that are making their mark in STEM. I also want to welcome our four #TeamSPS summer interns Ezigbo, Caroline, Claire, and Cecelia to SPS Commerce. I can’t wait to see what you create! Lastly, a huge thanks to Jade Denson of MnTech for emceeing and bringing so much fun and energy to the event!

Today we announced that Data Masons is becoming part of SPS Commerce! This is a great combination and I’m looking forward to all we will do together.
The news was also shared on the NASDAQ MarketSite in Times Square!
Growth Summit 2021
Today #TeamSPS joined together around the world for Growth Summit 2021! We had a great event, with the show being broadcast live from the Minneapolis Convention Center. We had a ton of precautions to keep things as safe as possible with the pandemic.
The event was fabulous, and the team was engaged with online activities that were paired up with the sessions. Truly a great online experience.
We had a thought provoking keynote from Greg Bell on the power of a simple question, What is Going Well?
I loved some of the behind the scenes stuff. I’d like to play around with all this gear.
Had to get made up for the big event.
What a great day #TeamSPS! It is going to be a great 2021!
Fun #TeamSPS project for a Friday afternoon. Enlisting the kids to help with decorating. ☝️
We had a nice (socially distanced) walk along the Snake River / Emily Stevens Park in Jackson, WY with Kendra Gapinski and family! #TeamSPS
We capped off #TeamSPS TechJam 2020 with a keynote from Casey Rosenthal on resilient systems and the practices that enable and support that transition. He filled it with fabulous stories relating the core resiliency topics to historical problems. 🙌
Love the enthusiasm and passion that Dr. Venkat Subramaniam is sharing with #TeamSPS during TechJam! “Spearheading the Future of Programming” His love for the craft of programming is overflowing! 👩💻👨💻
SPS TechJam 2020
Today we kick off #TeamSPS TechJam 2020! We have 31 presenters leading sessions that “follow the sun” with our teams around the world! The event is framed in with a Hackathon and Deep Racer competition! We are embracing remote with all activities online! 🙌
Distribution Center Simulation
I was able to participate in one of the first run-throughs of our new Distribution Center Simulation! It was a fabulous experience that will help #TeamSPS contextualize the benefit our services have for our customers. Hats off to the team that made this vision a reality. I love how they made it all real by using real products and staging everything just like it would happen in a distribution center. They even had speakers with truck and forklift sounds! 🚚
Also, extremely impressive how they modified the process to allow us to do this in-person experience during the pandemic. 😷
2020 Minnesota Aspirations in Computing Award Ceremony
It was great to attend the Minnesota Aspirations in Computing Award Ceremony tonight held online. The accomplishments of these young women are incredibly impressive. It is an honor that SPS Commerce is one of the sponsors of the program, and we are hosting multiple interns this summer from the program, as we have for multiple years before. A big shout out to Amy Patton of #TeamSPS who has put so much into this program, as well as many others! “Photos” of Erin Mitchell (Keynote), John Bartucz (Educator Honoree), Afiya Ward (State Winner), Amy Patton (Intern Program), Stuti Arora (Intern Speaker), and Russell Fraenkel (Committee Member).

Our new office space in Kyiv, Ukraine is coming along nicely and will be ready for #TeamSPS when we are able to return to the office! The pandemic posed logistical issues but the project team managed through it.
Another great Peloton spin class with fellow #TeamSPS members this morning — 30 min 80s Rock Ride! #FitByFifty 🚴♂️
SPS Commerce Celebrates 10th Anniversary as Public Company
Yesterday #TeamSPS celebrated our 10th anniversary of going public on the NASDAQ. To celebrate team members shared pictures of themselves in SPS gear. I switched shirts many times throughout the day! We also published a video on LinkedIn and on Twitter with everyones pictures.
It is so great to see all of the #TeamSPS pride on display, and all the little kids and pets in SPS gear as well! 👏
Riding with #TeamSPS Peloton spinners I got a new 30 minute PR (343 kj) this morning! 💥🚴🏼♂️ #FitByFifty
International Women's Day 2020
We had a great event recognizing International Women’s Day at SPS Commerce.
