- Where Social Fits in the Future of Commerce
Session descriptions:
1. For eCommerce leaders, marketplace managers, retail brands and international growth teams that want to understand how to grow beyond Amazon and build a stronger global marketplace strategy.
Amazon remains a major channel, but it is no longer the only route to international growth. As customer habits, fulfilment expectations and local buying behaviours change, UK brands need to understand which marketplaces are right for them, how to adapt their offer, and what it takes to succeed in different regions.
This panel will bring together marketplace leaders from the US, Europe and Asia to compare what works across different global platforms.
What you can expect to takeaway:
- How to decide which marketplace is right for your brand, product and growth goals
- What UK brands need to change when selling into the US, Europe and Asia
- The operational must-haves: fulfilment, returns, pricing, compliance and customer experience
- How to build a marketplace strategy that reduces reliance on Amazon
- What global marketplaces are looking for from UK brands in 2026
2. Social media is increasingly influencing not just what consumers discover, but how they research, evaluate and buy products.
As platforms such as TikTok, Instagram and YouTube become more closely connected to commerce, the path from inspiration to purchase is becoming shorter - and less linear. This session will explore the evolution of social commerce in the UK, examining where social platforms sit within today’s digital shopping journey and which categories, consumers and business models are seeing the greatest impact.
What you can expect to take away:
- How social platforms are reshaping product discovery and purchase journeys in the UK
- Which categories are seeing the strongest social commerce opportunity
- What brands and retailers need to do to turn social engagement into eCommerce growth
