On 1 October 2025, we hosted our flagship UK event, a momentous gathering of retail and technology leaders, designed to inspire, challenge, and empower businesses to strengthen their online presence.

In partnership with Salesforce, Adyen, Algolia and Cloudinary, the day offered an engaging mix of keynotes, panel discussions, live Q&A sessions, and networking opportunities – all complemented by live music and refreshments at the stunning Lowry (theatre) in Manchester. The event provided a collaborative space for leaders to exchange ideas, confront industry challenges, and explore practical solutions for driving growth in today’s competitive commerce landscape.

Together, they shed light on the evolution of composable commerce, payments innovation, global expansion, and strategies for standing out in a crowded online market and what wouldn’t be an event without a mention of Ai!

The discussions highlighted both the opportunities and obstacles leaders are facing today from integrating complex technology stacks and meeting rising customer expectations, to balancing innovation with operational efficiency. A recurring theme was the importance of actionable, results-driven strategies that deliver measurable value particularly with Ai adoption.

“Technology will always evolve, but the businesses that thrive will be those that keep the customer at the centre of every decision. Bringing together leaders from across the retail and technology space was a privilege, and it reinforced just how much opportunity lies ahead if we collaborate and innovate with purpose.” Paul Sanderson, CEO at The Commerce Team Global

It was an inspiring afternoon – a chance to sit in the room where the future of commerce is being shaped and we thank our partners, speakers, and every attendee who joined us in Manchester.
