AI in Ecommerce Day 2026

AI in Ecommerce Day is an 8-hour in-person eCommerce event held at The Lowry Hotel, Manchester.

Especially valuable if UK eCommerce founders and operators want merchant-led AI implementation lessons without agency pitching or sales-led stage content.

What attendees can expect:

• Merchant-led, build-focused sessions: You will hear directly from store operators sharing what they built with AI, what it saved, and what went wrong in real execution.
• Practical AI adoption examples: Expect examples from ecommerce businesses including Luxury Flooring, Bed Kingdom, DroiX, and Driftworks, focused on day-to-day operational impact.
• Operator-only environment: If you attend, expect a founder-and-operator audience and a clear “no agency pitches on stage” stance to keep content credible and useful.
• Round tables and peer discussion: You will get structured time for conversation through round tables, plus space to compare notes with other founders and operators.
• Flexible ways to attend: Expect the option to attend in person for the full experience, or watch via live stream, with an upgrade available to replay every session.

The event runs as a full-day agenda of talks led by merchants, built around practical lessons from live stores rather than theory. The in-person experience includes talks, round tables, and time to meet other founders and operators at

The Lowry Hotel. For those attending remotely, the event offers a live stream, plus an option that includes rewatch access to every session. This setup makes it easy to choose between in-room networking and a lower-commitment way to learn the content from anywhere.

This is a paid event.
