About Cart Basel
Cart Basel is a curated room of working DTC operators and decision makers. Cart Basel's ticket application approach means an experience built for real conversation. It's for the people actually running Shopify DTC brands, not a name-badge crowd.
Who You'll Reach
A curated audience of the people who actually buy.
Founders & CEOs
7-8-9 figure brand owners who make the final call on tools, agencies, and partnerships.
Growth Leaders
CMOs, VPs of Growth, and Heads of Acquisition with 6-7 figure ad budgets.
Operators & Directors
COOs, Directors of Ecom, and senior operators running day-to-day at scale.
High-GMV Brands
Attendees represent $500M+ in combined annual GMV across Shopify stores.
Active Buyers
They're evaluating tools, agencies, and partners right now — not just browsing.
Network Effect
These operators talk to each other. A great impression travels far beyond the room.
Brand attendees by Seniority
Brand-side attendees only: vendors and investors excluded so this measures the quality of the buyers you would meet. Founders, C-level, President, GM, EVP, VP, and Partner count as C-suite. Principal and Managing Partner count as VP, everyone else is other.
Registered executives by annual revenue (based on 2025 attendees)
Sponsorship Packages
Flexible options to match your goals and budget. Custom packages available.
Entry-Level Partner
Warm Intros Based on Your Offer
Your company attends Cart Basel and efficiently connects with the exact executives you're looking for through our Hosted Meetings Program - priced per executive.
What's Included
- ✓ 2 or 3 logo sponsor tickets ($3,195 each) for entry into the Cart Basel by February 1, 2027
- ✓ 2 or 3 non-logo tickets (one per sponsor ticket) to get on the VVIP Commercive Yacht (must commit by December 15, 2026 to guarantee this)
- ✓ 3 warm introductions to brands that actually expressed interest in your topical problem that you solve (Valued at $2,850)
Note: The 3 warm introductions are not guaranteed and based on the demand of your offer.
How do the warm intros work?
In our brand ticket buying intake, brands select the topics that they are interested in. We facilitate a certain number of warm introductions only if they proactively express interest in the topic and that it aligns with your offering(s) or service(s).
You must commit and pay for this sponsorship no later than January 19, 2027 5pm Eastern Time to receive the warm introductions prior to Cart Basel 2027 or else this will be automatically substituted for a Zoom-only demo meeting or a warm introduction no later than 30 days post-event.
Welcome Commercive Yacht Reception Partner
Co-host the welcoming yacht event with non competing hosts.
Make a big splash at the 250+ Person VVIP Commercive Yacht and connect with 7-8 even 9 figure brand people who may not be attending the conference day of Cart Basel by co-hosting our opening reception in collaboration with Commercive (3PL 5-10 day global shipping from China).
What's Included
- ✓ 3 warm introductory meetings ($2,850 value, included free)
- ✓ The entire lead list from the yacht
- ✓ Thoughtfully inserted branding, such as unique signage on table stands or digital screens, and decals where available
Why is there separate VVIP Commercive Yacht pricing?
Commercive is planning to host 225-250+ brands on the yacht; Cart Basel (the conference programming day) is planning to host 125-150+ brands. Both conferences have small overlap each with unique audiences. Combining the two days on CartBasel.com allows you to benefit from more touches from your sales motion.
Both Commercive and Cart Basel were built on getting leads for our own core offers, so unlike 99% of conferences, we are here to genuinely help you the best way possible in getting ROI from our events. A lot of our sponsors have been repeat sponsors for good reason.
