Le Before: 9-10 March 2026

Created in 2022, Le Before is a private and exclusive event dedicated to retail and e-commerce leaders. Bringing together a limited number of participants, it provides a unique place for reflection and discussion on the future challenges facing the sector, through workshops and networking opportunities. This strategic event will kick off on Monday, March 9, in the evening with an opening masterclass followed by a private sit-down dinner, and will continue on Tuesday morning with inspiring workshops, just before the official opening of One to One Retail E-Commerce.

The Before collaborative workshops

What are collaborative workshops?

Driven by the momentum of the Before Committee, the workshops are a key opportunity to take stock before the opening of One to One Retail E-Commerce. Designed as a space for collective exploration, they enable participants to identify emerging issues in the sector and prepare for the debates to come during the event.

The workshops are participatory and collaborative sessions bringing together around thirty participants. Each workshop is led by a facilitator, accompanied by two mentors (members of the Before Committee) and one or two speakers, who introduce the topic and set out the initial lines of thought.

Participants then continue the discussions in sub-groups, divided into three tables of ten people, to challenge the findings, share expertise and identify courses of action. At the end of these discussions, the contributions from each table are pooled, summarised and structured to identify the key ideas. This material forms the basis of Before: a collective reflection, developed ahead of the event, which highlights the priority issues and feeds into the content presented at One to One Retail E-Commerce.
