I attended Amazon’s first-ever Prime Analyst Day in Seattle. It was a valuable opportunity to hear firsthand how Amazon is disrupting itself before others can.

Amazon says its annual Prime Day event will be in July. The company reported record-breaking sales during last year's event.

Get ready, deal hunters, Amazon Prime Day is back this July, and it's shaping up to be one of the summer's biggest shopping events. This year, the annual mega-sale will take place in July, offering exclusive discounts across nearly every category on Amazon.
