Experience the 2024 Highlights

Relive the best of Elevate 2024

In April 2024, we launched Elevate — The Global Commerce Summit^TM.

This event united commerce leaders who share our vision of a future where composable technology ecosystems empower businesses to continually adapt to our ever-changing world and consistently deliver outstanding shopping experiences.

The event, held at the Miami Beach Convention Center, was simply incredible. You could feel the energy and enthusiasm. From the exclusive pre-event activities, including Partner Day and the Thought Leader Reception, to the kickoff Welcome party straight through to the very last presentation on Day 3 attendees were exposed to big ideas, bold strategies, new contacts and a heightened perspective on the possibilities of the future.

And now, a word from our attendees

Discover why our global community was raving about this year's summit. Here's what attendees had to say:

"From insightful keynote speeches to engaging panel discussions, the event provided invaluable insights into the future of commerce. The networking opportunities were unparalleled, connecting me with industry leaders and innovators from around the globe."

Chris Baltusnik, E-Commerce Transformation & Operations Leader, Owens Corning
"My biggest takeaway was the confirmation that we're on the right track with the whole MACH approach. It really fits this time of age when you want to be agile. Walking around and to people here, everybody's really enthusiastic about the future — that’s what I’ll be taking home and spreading the word to the C-suite."

Diederik Oostburg, Lead E-commerce Tech, Vision Healthcare
"I'm very excited about the things commercetools shared about the future roadmap and about Foundry. I think it's something that was needed. So those are my biggest takeaways —seeing that they listened to their partners and are evolving the platform."

Pierre Kremer, VP, Digital Engagement Practice at EPAM Systems
"The last keynote [Heather Hershey, Research Director, IDC] was really interesting. It was a good reminder that at the end of the day, customer loyalty is not something that we can control. This is something that we have to remind ourselves — I took a picture of that slide and I'm going to share it with my team. For me, that really was the key takeaway from the conference."

Amelita Ebuña, Director of eCommerce, Cepheid, Danaher Group
