Speakers

Bewitchingly straightforward and endlessly charming. Peek behind the curtain at the leaders that make our events so valued; our speakers. Spanning multitudes of industries, backgrounds and beliefs, they’re as diverse as they are wise. From Chief Beer Officer to Chief Executive Officer, each is rigorously hand-picked for every event to entice crowds of inquisitive attendees.

It was nice to be amongst like-minded people struggling with the same constraints and problems; lots of good conversations and lots of good takeaways. The thing about Commerce Futures and these events is they're nice, they're comfortable - they are conversations. It's kind of like sitting down with friends is very open, very friendly and very honest.

These types of events are fantastic for meeting people, for hearing what other people are doing, getting inspired and going back with new ideas to the business.

Commerce Futures hosts great events. I like the combination of getting some real insights into the industry, the opportunity to meet peers and discuss relevant topics in an informal environment combined with a nice venue.

Commerce Future events are a great opportunity to network with like minded people in a similar industry and I highly recommend both attending and sharing your own insights at one of their events. After speaking at one of their retail events I left having had conversations with individuals I would never have come across otherwise, gathered some fresh ideas to take back to my own role and I left with a lead that has since been implemented in my workplace.

I would never have such a great exposure without my participation as a speaker in a Directors Dinner in Paris. The high profile and seniority of the guests was unique, with very high-level conversations on the future of the digital clothing industry. Thanks for Commerce Futures to give me this opportunity.

It has been a pleasure and also an exciting personal experience, sharing in the CF Events journey throughout the year, the insight into both business and the transformation of our digital world, has been very useful to my team at both www.PakCosmetics.com and www.myhairandbeauty.co.uk In particular, recognising the Pitt falls of the current consumer climate and how our friends in similar industries are managing. It’s was certainly a privilege being asked to speak at one of your London events, and hope to be invited again the future, with a slightly longer speech.

I spoke at the Brand Commence Conference in London and thoroughly enjoyed telling the story of developing our baby sleep tech brand - Rockit. The delegates had some really insightful questions and I learnt loads from them during the networking opportunities.

Commerce Futures events are wonderfully organised sessions with like-minded professionals from across the industry. I had the privilege of speaking at an event, and it was a great opportunity to discuss, debate and learn from a diverse group. Equally the other sessions I have attended have been thought provoking, engaging and fun!
