Think Commerce 2026 — A Conference on the Future of EC & Brands

Back to News

Xmaker Inc. (CEO: Isao Ozawa), which provides marketing support and operates its own brands, has decided to host "Think Commerce 2026," a conference on the future of EC and brands, on Friday, July 24, 2026, at Osaki Bright Core Hall.

Industry leaders including the former CEO of Mitsukoshi Isetan HD, the CDO of ORBIS, Japan Toreka Center, and SHIRORU will take the stage. Admission is free for makers.

Background

While there are many conferences for the EC industry, a common issue is that their themes tend to become hollow due to sponsored talks and the like. "Think Commerce 2026" is a conference designed with the density of learning as the top priority — one that brand EC operators will genuinely want to attend.
