Event: Composable Commerce Nordics 2026 – Growth through AI-ready architecture

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.

Topias designs ecommerce architectures from the data up, working out how products, prices, customers and orders should be modelled, where each piece of data should live, and how it moves between systems.
