Day 1
2 November 2026
Kick off your day with check-in, coffee, and early connections. Registration is your first step into a day packed with strategy, insights, and community. Grab your badge and get ready to dive into B2B eCommerce with leaders from across the region.
Join Brett Sinclair, Founder and Director of the B2B eCommerce Association, and Jason Greenwood your conference MC, as they officially open B2B Commerce World Americas 2026. Together, they’ll set the tone for two days of strategy, insight, and industry connection at the region’s leading B2B eCommerce conference.
Most digital maturity assessments are built by people who want to sell you software. That’s not criticism — it’s just incentive. The gaps they highlight tend to point toward the tools they offer.
But in most B2B organizations, technology isn’t the constraint.
The real blockers are foundational: product data, customer segmentation, internal alignment, and channel strategy. You can invest in a new platform and still not move the business forward.
The B2BEA Digital Maturity Assessment takes a different approach. It gives you a clear view of where you are today — and what actually needs attention first.
In this session, a practitioner from a leading manufacturer/distributor will walk through their current digital maturity state, how they assess it, and how that translates into real priorities and next steps.
Grab a coffee, catch your breath, and connect with peers on the exhibition floor. With leading B2B commerce and digital transformation providers nearby, it’s a great chance to discover new ideas and solutions at your own pace.
This isn’t your typical panel or surface-level keynote. These two-hour masterclasses are designed to help you roll up your sleeves and dig into the biggest challenges (and opportunities) facing manufacturers and distributors in B2B eCommerce.
Each session is led by an industry expert who’s been in the trenches, not just talking about the work, but doing it. You’ll walk away with frameworks, practical tools, and hard-won lessons you can take back to your team on Monday morning.
Take a break, grab a bite, and connect with peers right in the heart of the B2B Commerce World Expo. Surrounded by the latest in commerce tech and digital solutions, this is your chance to refuel, explore, and spark new conversations all in one place.
We’re closing out Day 1 with a session designed for real-time insight, not polished presentations. This unscripted Q&A invites attendees to engage directly with a panel of seasoned B2B eCommerce operators who’ve faced the tough questions and have the scars (and wins) to prove it.
Refuel and recharge with coffee, snacks, and conversation. This is your chance to connect with peers, reflect on the day’s insights, and explore the expo floor before sessions resume.
Grab a drink and join us for 90 minutes of structured networking and open exploration at B2B Ecommerce World. Networking drinks will be available throughout the session.
Participants in the B2BEA Hosted Meeting Programme will use this time for their scheduled one-to-one meetings with technology and solution providers. Between meetings, refill your glass, explore the exhibition hall, and connect with fellow practitioners.
Not in the meeting programme? Head to the exhibition floor, and take the time to meet tech and solution providers, see live demos, and have genuine conversations about the tools and platforms shaping the future of B2B ecommerce — all at your own pace.
Unwind and connect as we wrap up Day 1. Join us for drinks to share takeaways and spark new conversations, with peers from across the region. It’s the perfect warm-up before the Poolside Dinner kick off later that evening.
Day 2
3 November 2026
