The Supernova Theatre is the beating heart of CustomerX.
While other stages dive into the "how-to," this is where we define the "what next." We have moved past the era of separate industries competing for the same transaction; we are now in the Post-Channel Era, where focus converges entirely on the customer’s life, not just the touchpoint.
This stage is reserved for North Star Thinking from Global Titans - the leaders who recognise that winning "share of wallet" now requires winning "share of life".The "Threenote" Format
We’ve reinvented the keynote for a new era of collaboration...Think of it as the Graham Norton Commerce Couch.
We bring together three industry rockstars from different sectors for an unscripted, high-energy conversation. Sitting on one couch, they move beyond the "what" of their business to the "how" of our collective future.
The focus is simple: Connection, Collaboration, and Customer Attention
To understand the Supernova Theatre, you have to look at the Collisions - where paths meet around the customer.
1. The Friday Night: Content, Cravings, and CPG
- The Couch: Netflix + Just Eat + PepsiCo.
-
The Collision: When a customer sits down to stream, they aren't just a "viewer." They are a diner and a consumer. This session explores how media platforms can trigger hospitality transactions and FMCG purchases in a single, seamless flow, maximising the value of that "Friday Night" window.
2. The Morning Commute: Travel, Time, and Transactions
-
The Couch: Uber + Pret A Manger + Revolut.
-
The Collision: A journey is more than transport; it is a sequence of hospitality and financial decisions. This "Threenote" explores how travel data can predict a coffee order and how embedded finance makes the transaction invisible, turning a morning commute into a high-value, multi-sector experience.
3. The Social High-Street: Social, Style, and Spend
-
The Couch: TikTok + Klarna + Estee Lauder.
-
The Collision: Social media is the new discovery engine. This session dives into how entertainment platforms and flexible finance providers are collaborating with beauty giants to bypass traditional e-commerce entirely, transacting where the customer's attention already lives.
4. The Wellness Wallet: Health, Retail, and Data
-
The Couch: Vitality + Waitrose + Nike.
-
The Collision: The dawn of "Bio-Commerce". These leaders discuss how real-time biometric data can influence grocery rewards and insurance premiums, creating a "proactive wellness" service that benefits the customer's health and the brand's bottom line.

Why These Sessions Matter
The Supernova Theatre teaches you to master two essential skills:
- Maximise Total Economic Value: Learn to collaborate across sectors to extract the most value from the customer's finite wallet and attention.
- Capture Share of Life: Understand how to fit into the story of your customer's habits and aspirations, rather than just competing for a single transaction.
-
We have moved past the era of separate industries competing for the same transaction; we are now in the Post-Channel Era, where focus converges entirely on the customer’s life, not just the touchpoint.

A 400-capacity space dedicated to the how. We move past the polished highlight reels to focus on implementation stories that admit the mess—the projects that succeeded because of, or despite, significant obstacles.
-
Designed for leaders who need to bridge the gap between high-level strategy and technical delivery. We strip away the vendor jargon and replace it with practical methods, patterns, and tools you can actually use.
-
The Executive Briefs are our "vetted" spaces for decision-grade discussion. We move past stage-managed presentations to focus on the strategic trade-offs that determine board-level success.
-
Located in themed hubs across the show floor, the Learning Labs are high-impact, vendor-led sessions designed to show you exactly how to solve the friction points in your customer journey.
-
This theatre is a high-energy mix of live shopping in action and "under the hood" analysis, showing you exactly how to turn engagement into instant conversion.
-
Unscripted conversations with commerce trailblazers. We strip away the slide decks and the corporate script to get to the grit. The bold ideas and insights that are actually moving the needle.
