What’s happening on the show floor at eCommerce Expo and Technology for Marketing 2026
Are you looking for the latest technologies, ideas, and industry insights to streamline your efforts and excel at your job?
There’s only so much you can discover from behind a screen. Sometimes the best way to find a new solution, uncover a fresh idea or understand how a technology could work for your business is to see it in action.
That’s where the show floor comes in.
At eCommerce Expo and Technology for Marketing, you’ll find hundreds of technology providers, platforms, agencies and specialists ready to demonstrate what they do, answer your questions and share practical insights from across the industry.
Whether you’re looking to improve your customer experience, speed up your site, make better use of data, explore AI, improve your marketing performance or simply discover what’s next, visiting exhibitors onsite gives you the opportunity to have real conversations about the challenges you’re facing.
And this year, exhibitors are bringing plenty to the show floor beyond the traditional stand and sales conversation.
From live demonstrations and personalised audits to competitions, giveaways, networking, coffee and even a magician, here’s what you can get involved with across eCommerce Expo and Technology for Marketing 2026.

The sessions can help you explore:
-
Where your current platform, CMS or systems may be creating friction
-
Whether you need a platform change, architectural fix, integration work or a change in workflow
-
Where AI could realistically support your commerce or content operation
-
The trade-offs involved in major platform and modernisation decisions
Rather than a generic sales conversation, it’s an opportunity to bring a real challenge you’re currently working through and get an expert perspective on what your next step could look like.
Why visit the exhibitors?
With so much happening across the two shows, the exhibitor floor is more than somewhere to walk around between conference sessions.
It’s where you can see technology working, test ideas, ask questions and get advice specific to your business.
You could discover a simple fix for a problem your team has been dealing with for months. You might find a platform that solves a particular challenge, get a personalised audit of your website or marketing activity, benchmark your performance against competitors or simply come away with an idea you hadn’t considered before.
And with exhibitors offering everything from live product demonstrations and expert consultations to competitions, networking and plenty of coffee, there are plenty of reasons to make time for the show floor.
Come with questions. Leave with ideas, insights and connections you can take back to work.
