Get in the Room with the Disruptors in DTC

Every way to make your mark at Cart Basel. From flagship partnerships and speaking slots to events, lunches, experiences, and branding. All built for one thing: real conversations with the movers and shakers in DTC.

About Cart Basel

Cart Basel is a curated room of working DTC operators and decision makers. Cart Basel's invite-only approach means an experience built for real conversation. It's for the people actually running Shopify-running DTC brands, not a name-badge crowd.

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.
