Track sponsor - eBay
eBay Inc. (Nasdaq: EBAY) is a global commerce leader that connects people and builds communities to create economic opportunity for all. Our technology empowers millions of buyers and sellers in more than 190 markets around the world, providing everyone the opportunity to grow and thrive. The UK website sells a car part every second, and with the aid of the authenticity guarantee programme, a sneaker is purchased every 5 seconds. This incredible interest directly benefits the small businesses who trade on eBay, giving them access to an audience once unthinkable for a small shop on the high street. Small British firms regularly rank in the top five grossing sellers on eBay.co.uk’s biggest trading days like Black Friday, and over one thousand British sellers who started with a shop on eBay are now running million pound businesses, providing jobs to people in their communities. By partnering with sellers in this way, eBay.co.uk has helped hundreds of thousands of British entrepreneurs over its 25-year history. As a hub of retail in the UK, the marketplace also continues to welcome top brands to the site – including Dyson, Halfords, GoPro, Canon and more. eBay also makes it easy for customers to give to charitable organisations. Using eBay for Charity, sellers can donate a portion of their sales and buyers can shop while supporting their favourite causes – adding to the funds that eBay.co.uk has raised for UK charities to date. Did you know? eBay has 147 million active buyers around the world. In the UK, eBay serves over 20m Brits a month.

Track sponsor - RetailX
RetailX is born of an obsession with performance in multichannel retail and ecommerce. Mark Pigou brought the first ever high level B2B conference on eCommerce to the UK in 2004. The launch event was admired and critiqued in equal measure by Ian Jindal, and a relentless “we-can-do-better” partnership was born. They teamed up with SJP Business Media to launch the first dedicated B2B website and print magazine for Europe’s multichannel and ecommerce retailers: InternetRetailing. In 2006 they launched the UK’s largest dedicated trade show, IRX, which with their events business was acquired by Clarion Events in 2015. RetailX is the continuation of the journey. The multichannel retail sector is highly sophisticated, rapidly expanding and continuously evolving. It is collegiate yet highly competitive; ruthlessly optimising yet perennially in beta; commercially driven yet experimental and generous. To survive, conquer and indeed prosper, the professional retailers and suppliers in our sector need competitor perspectives, performance data and insightful analysis. RetailX’s mission is to provide the data, analysis and insights to build successful and profitable businesses.
