What this is
A working session, not a webinar
What it is
Half a day on how to tackle the parts of ecommerce that are genuinely hard. Complex catalogues, what is new from Shopify, AI implementations you can apply now, and where agentic commerce is heading.
Who it's for
Senior ecommerce and digital leaders at established retailers. Large or awkward catalogues, multiple stores, real integration and operations behind the storefront. If you have outgrown the simple setup, this is built for you.
The format
An intimate 20-guest limit for guaranteed 1:1 connection. Light breakfast, a sit-down lunch, a few sharp sessions, and an interactive roundtable where we work on problems you’re dealing with.
Agenda
Spotlight | The roundtable
Bring your toughest problem
What you bring to this event will determine what you get out of it. The last part of the day, the roundtable, is yours. Bring one real thing you are stuck on. A catalogue structure headache, a promotion rule that keeps breaking, an integration that will not behave, a mobile experience that is quietly losing you sales. We'll break into small clusters, a StudioForty9 specialist sits with each, and we work the problem together. You leave with one thing you can action on your current setup this week, and a clear view of how it could work properly down the line. No pitch, just the room thinking with you.

Why we come to you
We come to your part of the country.
The best conversations happen close to home, so rather than ask you to travel to us, we run the same session in 3 cities and bring the StudioForty9 & Shopify team into the room with you. Galway, Dublin, Cork. Same agenda, same access, near you.
3 Cities, 1 Room
The session travels, and so does the room. We're hosting you in The Blue Room at The Dean in each city, the same setting on tour. Turn up to wherever suits you.

The Dean Galway does not have on-site parking. We recommend using CityPark on Fairgreen Road (Eircode: H91 D362), just across from the Citylink bus station. Bring your parking ticket to The Dean reception for validation to receive a 50% discount, reducing the daily rate to €12.
The venue is also just a 4-minute walk from both Galway Coach Station and Galway Train Station.
The Dean Dublin has limited on-street parking directly outside the hotel, available on a first come, first served basis.
We recommend Q-Park St. Stephen’s Green, which is just a short walk away. Please note that this car park is not affiliated with the hotel and standard parking charges apply.
The Dean Cork does not have an affiliated car park, but there are several nearby options. We recommend Merchant’s Quay Car Park (Eircode: T12 H299).
