About connexU

Events Are in Our DNA

connexU was created to connect. We challenged every convention in order to build something entirely distinct and truly transformative.

Our Story

Having launched, organised and run countless large-scale B2B exhibitions and conferences, we knew our formula must be different. So we challenged every convention and detail of our past experience in order to build something entirely distinct and truly transformative. connexU creates Marketplace Events — one-day, hyper-targeted events that bring together senior retail decision-makers for curated 1-to-1 meetings, AI-powered matchmaking, and meaningful connections.

Our Philosophy

Experience has taught us that highly specialised or regionalised events are better at meeting our customers' needs. So, we focus on a particular niche, industry or vertical market each time. The result is more targeted insights, optimum networking, and specialised content that's relevant for every attendee.

Our Values

Entrepreneurial

We move fast, think big, and build with purpose.

Agile

We adapt quickly, iterate constantly, and respond to what our community needs.

Community & Customer Centric

Everything we do starts with understanding what our attendees and exhibitors need.

People First

Meaningful connections between real people are at the heart of everything we build.
