E-Com Top Voices is a global open call for founders, operators, creators and contrarians shaping commerce, AI and retail. Submit your idea in two minutes. Take the WORLDEF Istanbul stage in front of 30,000 attendees from 50 countries.
Join 500+ global leaders shaping the future of e-commerce, AI and retail.
A taste of who's already on the schedule. Founders, operators, executives — the people you came to meet.
Six unfiltered takes from operators, founders and culture-shapers who've been on the ground. Tap any reel.
Türkiye's most-watched film essayist on creativity and the future, with 1M+ followers across IG and YouTube. He brings the WORLDEF stage a storyteller's lens on how AI is rewiring craft, attention and culture.
One application. Four outcomes that compound long after the lights go down.
15–25 minutes on a main stage in front of buyers, founders and decision makers — not a side room.
Speaker badge, green room, networking dinners, the after-party. Everything that turns talks into deals.
Your talk packaged into clips, shorts and the WORLDEF magazine. Distribution to 50+ markets.
Top 10 finalists get a dedicated brand moment — your name, your story, your category, on the marquee.
No long forms. No gatekeeping. If your idea is sharp, the rest is logistics.
A working title, a 200-word abstract, a link to anything that proves you've thought about this before. Two minutes.
Our editorial board reads every submission. Shortlists are announced weekly. You'll hear back within 10 days — yes, no, or "tell us more."
Selected speakers get a stage slot, a producer to rehearse with, and a film crew to capture it. You bring the idea. We bring the room.
The best talks don't fit neatly. If your angle bends a category, even better — say so in the form.
Honest, unfiltered teardowns of campaigns, launches or pivots — what worked, what didn't, and what you'd do again.
Original research, primary data, and the trends shaping commerce in the next 18 months.
Practical AI in merchandising, support, supply chain, ads and creative — with the real cost-to-value math.
Marketplaces, fulfilment, payments, regulation. The mechanics of going from one country to twelve.
The new playbook for brand-led commerce, creator partnerships and community-owned distribution.
The story you can't tell on a podcast. The angle no one else has. Bring the scar tissue.
You'll know where you stand at every step. No silence, no ghosting.
The lineup fills in the order applications come in. The form takes longer to read about than to fill out.
