This short "how to" session introduces Guided Self-Learning, a powerful framework that blends the initiative of self-directed learning (SDL) with structured support. We'll show you how to leverage AI-powered tools like NotebookLM to move beyond surface-level tutorials, conduct deep research, and truly master complex new skills for your career.
Meet the new colleague: AI. This panel shares real-world case studies on "what happened next" after integrating AI into Ecommerce teams.

We'll dive into the metrics that matter and the realities of an AI-assisted workforce.
This session dives into how physical locations are becoming a brand's biggest asset, serving as both local fulfilment centers and rich experience hubs. We'll discuss practical strategies for in-store fulfilment, community building, and leveraging your product experts to deliver unified customer service and create compelling content for platforms like YouTube.
Are you stuck in a high-revenue, low-profit loop? This talk provides a 20-point playbook for sustainable profit optimisation. Learn how to fix your attribution to make smarter decisions, maximise your Profit on Ad Spend, and improve cashflow. We'll cover high-impact tactics across Paid Search, Paid Social, Email Marketing, Flows, CRO, and AOV that pull you out of the discount-driven race to the bottom.
Go beyond basic marketing. This talk dives deep into supercharging your owned channels—like organic social, email, and SMS—to build powerful retention engines. Learn advanced strategies to increase AOV and CLTV, from implementing tiered loyalty programmes and effective win-back strategies to using predicted churn models to keep customers before they leave.
Making the right techstack or strategic choice is critical in ecommerce. This short "how to" session explores how new Reasoning AI Models can de-risk these high-stakes moments.

What's the perfect marketing mix? You tell us! Join this fun, high-energy panel where we use live Slido polls to crowdsource the ultimate Demand Gen and Demand Capture tier list.

We'll cover the essentials SMEs need: product development, exporting strategy, duty, tax compliance, and optimising 3PL logistics.
With ad blockers, iOS 14+, and cookie deprecation, client-side pixels are missing up to 30% of your conversion data. This "signal loss" shatters your attribution, weakens ad platform algorithms, and deflates your ROAS. As Apple prepares to remove click IDs (e.g. gclid, fbclkid) from Safari, the problem is getting worse. This session explores how top brands are moving to server-side tracking to reclaim their data, build a resilient first-party data foundation, and accurately assign credit to the channels that are actually driving sales and profitability.
How do you scale faster without a highly experienced in-house team and related C-suite costs? This session explores tactical shortcuts, including AI tools and the rise of the fractional Head of Ecommerce or Marketing Director. We'll provide a framework for deciding when this move supercharges growth and when it just drains the budget and if it can ever be fully replaced with advanced AI reasoning models.
What's next for Ecommerce? Let's decide together. Join our panel for a session driven entirely by you. Using Slido, you’ll vote on the trends, quiz the experts, and debate the future of Ecommerce, Digital Marketing, and seamless omnichannel customer journey.
