Read on for the impressive roster of leading brands speaking - and the critical lessons they will impart.

Discover the complete playbook for a successful marketplace strategy

Two-thirds of consumers today prefer online marketplaces over conventional eCommerce, guaranteeing their dominance for decades to come. Embracing this transformative model is essential in this new digital-first economy.

Next week in Paris, hundreds of organizations will come together as Mirakl reveals the secrets to success from the world’s most trusted online marketplaces. It’s not too late to request a ticket to join them and discover the complete playbook you need to break through with a successful, scalable marketplace strategy that puts your business on a path to unprecedented growth.

Hear from the world’s most trusted Platform Pioneers

The Platform Pioneer Summit is a unique opportunity to hear from, and connect with, hundreds of other digital and marketplace leaders across retail, manufacturing, and distribution, including Aniel, Best Buy Canada, Carrefour, Conrad, Leroy Merlin, Lyreco, MediaMarkt and Vestas.

To kick it off, Mirakl’s co-CEO and co-founder Adrien Nussenbaum will give an opening keynote, during which he will explore the forces behind the current cutthroat competitive landscape and how the top enterprise marketplaces are breaking through the noise to capture exponential growth. He will be joined onstage by Isabelle Bénard, Mirakl’s Chief Product Officer and Andy Barker, Executive Vice President, Payments, who will reveal Mirakl’s most exciting new product innovations.

Next, Adrien will welcome Zoran Bogdanovic, CEO at Coca Cola HBC and Dan Finley, CEO at Debenhams to share a 360-degree ‘tell all’ view on their marketplace journeys. They’ll share exclusive insights about their early wins, lessons learned, and pitfalls to avoid along the way, plus a look ahead to the future for their organizations’ marketplaces.

Participate in master classes and learn from those paving the way to success
