In 2025, the summit will take place in London over two days, whilst also launching in New York City for the first time. This is an eCommerce conference designed for ambitious high-growth retailers and brands looking for inspiration and innovation from some of the top speakers in fashion, beauty and lifestyle.



Designed for ambitious high-growth retailers and brands.

Hear from international speakers from the best premium lifestyle brands in the world. Topics will include internationalisation, new customer acquisition, roadmapping, measurement and attribution, performance marketing and more. This event is the perfect opportunity to meet with other like-minded eCommerce experts.



Entertainment from Tayce, fashion icon and drag performer

We're excited to announce Tayce as part of our entertainment roster this year! 

As a finalist of RuPaul's Drag Race UK and winner of the 2024 Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special, Tayce is here to astonish and excite the crowd.

Tayce is also known for her brand collaborations with Jean Paul Gaultier, Richard Quinn, The Blonds, EgonLab, Namilia, Bluebella, Nasty Gal and more.

This performance is one not to be missed.




















Comedy from Maisie Adam and Zoe Lyons

To round off the second day of our summit, we're excited to announce Maisie Adam and Zoe Lyons as our comedy acts this year. 

Maisie Adam is a comedian from Yorkshire and is fast on her way from being one of the brightest rising stars of the UK comedy scene to becoming a household name. Zoe Lyons is an award-winning stand-up comedian, acclaimed broadcaster, and talented actor currently on tour with her hit show, Werewolf.

Both stars have appeared on hit shows such as Have I Got News for You, QI, and Mock the Week, and will deliver us some amazing comedy at the end of our second day. 



Performances from B*Witched, Bradley from S Club and DJ Fat Tony

Join us for the eCommerce party of the year as we invite four amazing entertainers to the stage for a show you will not want to miss.

Performers will include B*Witched, Bradley from S Club, DJ Fat Tony and Crayola for some 90s nostalgia.

Please do not arrive late to our after-party, as we may not be able to guarantee entry once the performances begin.
