Dinner

June 4, 2024

Summary

Empowering the ecosystem

As Amsterdam continues to become the focus for many large brand HQ's, so it behoves all of us to embrace our European commerce ecosystem and come together and discuss growth, digital and the opportunities that lie ahead.

Our economic unpredictability continues, but one thing is sure... growth is no longer "at any cost". Instead we need to target sustainable and efficient growth, coupled with a long term strategy that focuses on profit. How are we contributing to that number, and how can we achieve growth in our own businesses this coming annual cycle?

Join us for the Growth dinner.

Over dinner we will debate and discuss:

  • Ground Rules for collaboration in the near future
  • The consumer - appetites, key metrics and learnings
  • Ecosystem - How should we allocate resources to grow efficiently?
