“The Event You Simply Can’t Afford to Miss” – Why D-Congress 2025 Will Be Unforgettable

We sat down with Per Ljungberg, Head of D-Congress and Chief Innovation Officer at Svensk Handel, the organization behind this leading event, to find out what makes D-Congress the highlight of the year for the retail and e-commerce industry in the Northern Europe.

Why should someone attend D-Congress 2025?
– First of all, the sheer quality of participants is unmatched. The Nordic region’s leading retailers and e-commerce companies will be there, represented by Founders, CEOs, CMOs, CTOs, and so many more. On top of that, the most exciting suppliers to the industry are joining us as exhibitors and attendees. I’d say it’s the networking that truly makes D-Congress one of Northern Europe’s premier events.

You’re responsible for shaping the program – what are you most excited about this year?
– It’s tough to pick, but I wouldn’t miss Stefan Palm kicking things off on one of our main stages. Steven Bartlett and Sebastian Siemiatkowski, interviewed by Evelina Anttila, will absolutely be a highlight and set a new bar for D-Congress. And we’re very proud of our opening speaker in the Congress Hall at 4 PM on Wednesday – someone we’re not quite ready to announce just yet. I’m also excited about Thursday morning, March 6, when the Congress Hall will focus on Fashion, featuring a couple of truly exceptional sessions with international speakers of world-class caliber.

The party is always a big deal too, right?
– Absolutely! The D-Award Dinner will be sold out as usual, and I can’t wait to hear Daniela Rathana, who’s been getting rave reviews for her latest live tour. And of course, Adyen’s afterparty – the perfect way to wrap up two incredible days at D-Congress.
