The event for brands and retailers mastering marketplaces, social commerce & new growth channels

The retail channel mix has never been more fragmented – or more full of potential. Whether it’s scaling through global giants like Amazon and TikTok, rising stars like Temu and Shein, or launching your own marketplace ecosystem, UK retailers and brands now operate in a dynamic, multi-channel world.

At ChannelX 2025, we bring together commercial, digital and channel leaders who are defining the future of retail growth. With a sharp focus on operational excellence and scalable strategy, this is where brands come to sharpen their commercial edge and build partnerships that drive real results.
