Intent in a (bigger) tent
London, 24th February 2026

Intent in a (bigger) tent

A free event designed to help brand-side eCommerce leaders find growth through new perspectives. All in a biggest tent we could find in London. (Yes, it's the O2).
What it’s all about

350 eCommerce people sharing ideas in a tent

We're throwing a second, completely unique summit talking about eCommerce Intent. And insights. And impact. And it’s all in a tent. (Seriously).

But intent isn't just about getting a new perspective. It's about appropriateness and relationships. And we approach everything about our event with this in mind.

The whole thing is free, and tickets are by application for people working at ecommerce brands only. This means you'll spend the day at tables with people who share your challenges and interests. What better way to solve your problems than together, inspired by unexpected speakers and expert moderators?
01
Like a wedding,
not a work thing
We're bringing together our people for a celebration of something we all love: finding a new edge. Note: If you're open to thinking (and doing things) differently, then you are "our people". Come meet others like you. You'll fit right in.
02
It‘s all about the
people in the tent
You know how we go on about stages? Well, the stage isn't what matters here. The talks will be excellent, but just wait for the conversations. We'll curate your table to make sure you meet people with the same goals.
03
For eCommerce
operators only
The only way this works is if we get enough of the right people together. So you need to be experienced and at a brand to get one of the 350 tickets. But while you will need to contribute to the conversation, it is totally free.
04
Critical thinking, friendly space
We want you to think differently about your eCommerce strategy. So you can do more with less. So you can find value that others overlook. You’ll learn how to do just that, by seeing how others are taking a new approach.
Join us (for free) on 24/02/2026

Timings

check icon
Doors, tea & coffee ☕️
Say hello to your friends, then find your table to make some new ones.

12pm
Ian Graham's keynote + Q&A
Skill, luck & strategy: How analytics won the Premier League
Football, like sport in general, is a combination of skill and luck. Failure to understand the difference between them is lethal to a team’s long-term health. I think the same is true in digital business. To succeed, and to make your skill matter more than your luck, you have to ask: “where can we make the greatest impact?" Even if answering that question may mean doing things differently to how they've been done before. I’ll show you how we did this with data in football and how you might think about answering it in eCommerce.
1pm
Lunch is served 🍱
And it’ll be delicious. We'll also be running 2 live demos if you're hungry (I'm so sorry) to know more about our product.

“Ecommerce events...too many sales pitches, death by slides and limited time for networking. Today, however, Intent in a Tent really changed that view for me.”
