The New Economy is a series of live events where we convene industry experts to showcase new technology, celebrate innovation, and create discourse around the best way to build sustainable ecosystems for the future.
Cadastra is bringing together industry experts from platforms and brands to uncover technology’s role in the evolution of commerce globally.
The pandemic accelerated digital transformation across the retail sector, but according to ONS eCommerce still only represents roughly 20% of overall retail sales in the UK.
The event will uncover the challenges for online commerce and look at what the future holds for the sector.
Topics to be covered
• Omnichannel
• Consumer Behaviour in a Post-Pandemic World
• Borderless Commerce
• 1st Party Data Strategy
• Shopping in the Metaverse
• Social & Conversational Commerce
The event will be hosted in the Samsung facility in Coal Drops Yard, Kings Cross.
