Composable Commerce Nordics 2026 – Growth through AI-ready architecture

CCN

Growth through AI-ready architecture

The organisations pulling ahead in commerce aren't the ones running the most AI pilots. They're the ones with the most flexible and cost-efficient architecture that supports what AI needs in order to work and scale.

Curated by IONA, the event brings together decision-makers looking to engage in dialogue on the future of commerce, from composable architectures and AI-driven customer experience to data activation and operational scalability.

CCN 2026 is a day for Nordic business and technology leaders responsible for digital revenue, customer experience, and commerce architecture. No hype, but honest talk about real life implementations, TCO, trade-offs, practical cases and operating decisions.
