WHAT
This edition of Candid Commerce brought together over 60 retail and CPG leaders to unpack what the future of eCommerce looks like in 2025 and beyond. Four powerful panels tackled:
- Marketing: Performance vs. brand—what works now?
- Retail Media: Smarter, impactful use of RMNs
- Unified Commerce Leadership: Aligning teams, tech, and tactics
- eCommerce Strategy: Turning tech into traction
Panels focused on real-world examples and actionable insights, rather than theoretical concepts.
"Retail media isn’t new—but now it’s core to strategy."
“Brand building in 2025 requires emotional resonance, not just reach.”
“Unified commerce needs unified leadership.”
Why It Mattered
Candid Commerce London set a new bar for retail events by avoiding PowerPoint overload and creating space for honest dialogue. It reinforced the hunger for community-led learning, created a springboard for new collaborations, and teased what’s next at Candid Commerce US and Shoptalk Europe.
