In fifteen weeks’ time, the first ever edition of Shoptalk Europe will take place: from 9th – 11th October in Copenhagen. Shoptalk is unlike many other events. It is focused on disruptive trends, technology and changes that in how consumers view and buy things. It is this very focus that makes it a unique event and one I find extremely appealing, personally speaking. It could not be more in line with what I have described in my book ‘The End of Online Shopping’ (on its way to the 4th print run in NL, with an English edition expected very soon!). Shoptalk Europe expects to welcome over 2,000 retailers and brands in October. It is impossible that you have missed the pan-European marketing campaign with the fun cartoons.
About Shoptalk
Shoptalk Europe is being launched hot on the heels of successful Shoptalk in the United States – which took place in 2016 for the first time, welcoming 3,100 people and growing to 5,500 attendees this March. As an ambassador for Shoptalk, I would like to invite you to purchase an event ticket at a discount, or to take part in the free Hosted Retailers & Brands Program (including a free ticket and up to €650 towards travel and accommodation expenses).
Amazing speakers
I am thrilled to announce that I have been selected as one of the speakers at Shoptalk Europe. Over 100 speakers have been confirmed, including the CEOs and executives from retailers and brands such as Tesco, Otto Group, H&M, Ikea, Galeries Lafayette, Metro, Mars, Dollar Shave Club, Estee Lauder Companies and many others. In the past weeks, the Head of Amazon Prime Europe has joined their ranks. You should check out the Linkedin post by Zia Wigder, the Chief Global Content Officer of Shoptalk. Or take a look at the impressive up-to-date-link of speakers – due to grow to 250 speakers by October.
