Accelerate, the global ecommerce acceleration summit presented by Pattern, is an annual event that brings together top brands, agencies, marketplaces, and accelerators for two days to learn, network, and experience what’s possible on ecommerce and global marketplaces. The Acceleration Summit is filled with ecommerce presentations, immersive panel sessions, compelling keynote speakers, and topic-based networking.
Accelerate23 Theme: Slow Down and Let the Sparks Fly
“It’s time to slow down and let the sparks fly.”
This was the concluding line of the introductory video of global ecommerce Acceleration Summit 2023 held May 10 and 11. With more than 1,700 attendees ready to learn and connect, the synergy was palpable.
The Acceleration Summit was an opportunity to bring the best ecommerce and brand brains together to learn together in an energetic and enthusiastic atmosphere.
The introductory video shared the purpose of the 2-day conference: “Ideas are revolutionizing entire industries and blazing new trails. These sparks aren’t born of the Zuckerbergs or the Gates. They come from the everyday professionals — the people behind the people. These flashes, these sparks, these innovations and these people are what make ecommerce one of the most exciting global drivers of the global economy.”
As the “people behind the people”, or attendees, gathered at Accelerate23, they had the chance to slow down, get ideas, and feel ready to go back to work enthused and enlightened by the ideas heard at the conference.
“When we slow down to consider the possibilities, our brains are capable of incredible ideas, ground-beaking inventions, and game-changing innovations.”
