Business Growth 2.0: What to Do After the Slowdown? - Led by Flywheel DigitalWhile Amazon has been a source of strong topline growth for years, many 1P brand manufacturers have experienced increasing business deceleration, both creating internal concerns around future growth on the platform and posing risk to the continued resource allocation and investment.  Learn some of the critical strategies and tactics you can leverage to drive new growth and counter the slowdown. 5.

Brand Protection: Best-In-Class Strategies to Control Your Sales Online to Maximize Profit - Led by VorysDespite its growth and potential, the Amazon marketplace can expose all the leaks in a brand’s value chain – price   matching, unauthorized 3P sellers, product diversion and grey market sales – resulting in major channel conflicts, unprofitability for both brand and retail and overall brand erosion.  Learn the key strategies, foundational policies and enforcement techniques recommended to remove unauthorized sellers, stop channel conflict and end brand erosion. 7.

During this session you will get exposed to what it is like when all of these elements are connected and are fueling consistent understanding and optimization. Driving baskets and product discovery online are all about experiences. Expect to find out how a digital startup is enabling both brands and retailers to reinvent digital commerce. 2. How Large Companies Can Optimize Content at the Speed of Ecommerce - Led by OneSpaceRecent research indicates that the brands who are most successful at growing revenue in ecommerce regularly optimize their product content. However, it also revealed that the biggest barrier for developing great content was the number of approvals required internally. Learn the strategies and practical tips to overcome these hurdles with your key stakeholders to create, review, approve, and publish content at scale and at the speed of ecommerce. 3. How to Maximize Sales via Omnichannel Alignment - Led by ChannelSightIn a channel-agnostic world, to win online is not only about getting eCommerce right but more about building a unified, consistent and captivation consumer experience across all touch points, right through to retailers. However, providing a holistic view of the customer is complex. And, with many sources to capture data and insights, brands need to be able to identify what information will have the biggest impact and drive the most valuable leads to retailers. Learn best practices brands can use to break through the noise and drive engaged leads to these key marketplaces from all their digital assets.  STRATEGY 4. How to Create Outstanding D2C Experiences - Led by PatternThe challenge of whether to invest in a D2C proposition is an issue that continues to occupy the minds of brand owners. Research into the customer experience provided by 100 global brands’ direct-to-consumer websites will frame this discussion on whether a D2C channel is right for your brand within the omnichannel mix and provide benchmarks of what makes a compelling D2C offer. We’ll highlight examples of the best and worst D2C experiences and outline the emerging operating models brand owners are employing to deliver their D2C and omnichannel strategies. 5. Supply Chain: The Secret to Ecommerce Success - Led by Edge by AscentialSupply chain as a winning strategy. In a changing retail landscape, consumers access to technology leads to the on-demand consumer where they become demanding on what they want to buy and when they want to buy it. The traditional route to market over complicates leading to a complex, fragmented chain with alternatives to purchase. Under this new scenario, suppliers are struggling to cope with the cost emerging from new supply chain demands. In this section, we will review the latest drivers of change leading to a new set of consumers expectations, implications on the supply chain  and how suppliers will need to build a new set of capabilities to stay competitive in an evolving world. 6. 8 Ecommerce Operating Models to Drive Your Online Growth - Led by PatternWhether you sell direct, through marketplaces or solely through retail channels, the model you choose to support your ecommerce sales can have a substantial impact on your growth trajectory. We examine the pros and cons of eight global ecommerce operating models, to help you answer questions such as whether your ecommerce capability should sit as a local, regional or global level; and whether a single sales team should take responsibility for marketplaces, online and offline sales. JOINT VALUE CREATION 7 Planning for Profitable Growth in Ecommerce - Led by Edge by AscentialEcommerce is maturing in Europe’s leading markets. Retailers show more and more signs that the time for reckless growth is over and that ecommerce must be managed in a more profitable way. We will explore the strategies and initiatives that retailers might take, their impact on manufacturers and ways to address these challenges. The brands behind your brands **OFFICIAL PARTNERS COMING SOON!** The cold, hard truth from E^HACKATHON London attendees I’ve been to events for almost 20 years and this is the best f**king event I’ve ever attended First time participant with high expectations and you've fully delivered on my expectations. I loved the Masterclasses, not only for the focus on a more specific topic but also for the closer relationship with speakers and opportunity to ask/contribute.  Just amazing... Amazon is such a beast, no one person can know everything. I learnt so much, and picked up so many points of valuable info, WOW and just so pleased I came... thank you! Really inspiring and valuable day. Learnt a lot of useful and actionable insights that I believe will make a difference to our business on Amazon.  Only having been on the Amazon account a short while the day offered a lot of insight and useful 'hacks' which will help me pick up pace on the account to drive the business forward.  What venue could possibly contain our collective potential? 30 Euston Square in London, UK has promised to do its best :) Ready to make history?  Join us today! Still need more time to decide? Take all the time you need, but we are humbled to share that every prior E^HACKATHON to date has sold out.

BUILD, Kingdom Code’s annual hackathon is back for 2019. In October, join Christian technologists from across the UK and beyond to share ideas and kick start projects that integrate our Christian faith and  technical skill sets. Whether you’re a developer, designer, project manager, branding/marketing expert, ideator or something else entirely, enjoy taking a weekend to meet and work with others who share your desire to see God glorified through technology. Here’s what people have said about previous BUILD events: "I got to work on [solving] a problem for Christians Against Poverty that could be genuinely useful… while learning new front-end technologies. "Seeing the excitement and passion in people as they took ideas from conception to a presentable prototype was inspiring." "It was such a highlight to meet other Christian developers and discussing God centered technologies." BUILD 2019 is being hosted by St. John’s in Hoxton. St. John’s sits minutes away from Silicon Roundabout, London’s tech hub. They have long been a supporter of Kingdom Code and we’re really excited to be able to host the hackathon with them. Details about the 2019 challenges are coming soon, however to whet your appetite, check out some of the challenges from previous events: In 2017 Christians Against Poverty asked us “how can digital tools enable churches to serve the poor and save the lost in their local communities?” Home for Good asked “how could Home for Good better use digital tools to inspire people, support them in their fostering and adoption journey and enable them to be part of a growing movement?
