"Events like Elevate are important to the industry to bring like minds together. In my two days here, I’ve been able to connect with peers in the industry and learn about their experiences, identifying similarities and differences. And both of those things are important, as it opens your eyes to what might be possible that you have not considered. Benchmarking and peer-to-peer coordination are critically important in my role."

"An event like Elevate is a brilliant opportunity to bring together people with similar challenges. There are many retailers here that we don’t directly compete with, and we can share our experiences, share what’s working well, share the challenges that we’ve had. And it’s important to get that insight from others going through similar journeys."

"At Elevate, it was great to hear about the different ways that other businesses are utilizing AI. So many speakers at Elevate have emphasized the importance of AI going forward in the eCommerce business. They’ve given good examples that I can take back to my team and implement right away."

"What I enjoyed about Elevate was the experience sharing between customers, partners and the commercetools teams. What I want to share with my colleagues in Morocco is that commercetools is working hard to develop AI solutions that will make life easier for our customers in the future."

"There were many great conversations at Elevate. I think the thing I’m most excited to take back to my team would be some new AI features. It was a great announcement on the AI Hub. I think most people, if not already playing with AI, have certainly got it in their roadmap in the future. The pace of Commerce MCP and commercetools will be great to make that easier."
