A day of golf with the people who run global ecommerce
Twenty-four of the smartest people in global ecommerce, all equally bad at golf.
The best ecommerce networking event you will ever go to. Probably.
Location: Stoke Park Golf Club in Slough.
Teams of four, a scramble, and a lunch nobody is in a rush to leave.
Competition: Nearest the pin & longest drive.
Co-hosted with Takomo, a world-leading direct to consumer Finnish golf brand.
The best conversations we have with the brands we work with never happen in a meeting. They happen somewhere nobody is presenting, usually while two people are looking for a ball in a hedge. So together with Takomo Golf, we booked a course for the day, and we are inviting twenty-four of you. You get to network with your peers and ask us any questions you have about solving D2C logistics problems.
Hosted before the weather turns and peak season puts everything in the rough.
The format
Six teams of four. Texas scramble. Shotgun start.
Nearest the pin & longest drive competition
If you do not play, here is what that means. Everyone in your team tees off. You walk to whichever of the four balls ended up in the best spot, and all four of you play your next shot from there. Repeat until the ball is in the hole. The team plays one score, not four.

On handicaps
It is a scramble, which means your team plays the best of four shots and nobody has to be any good. If you have never held a club, you will have a better day than you expect and you will not hold anyone up. Several of us are living proof.
The room
Twenty-four guests, all UK-based, all running or operating ecommerce brands. We seed the teams ourselves rather than letting people group up with whoever they arrived with. Four hours with three people you have not met is the whole point.
The Networking
Your peers. Four hours with three people running businesses like yours, then lunch with twenty more. What is working in ecommerce right now, what isn’t, and what they wish they had sorted before last peak. Nobody is on a panel, so nobody is performing.
Our team. Wayfindr people are spread one per team. We are a tech-enabled growth partner for scaling brands, and run full-service logistics for D2C brands fulfilling into the US, UK, EU, MEA, and Australia. Ask us anything: freight, fulfilment, customs, returns, duties, or that quote you are not sure about. No agenda, and no follow-up unless you ask.
Joining:
There are twenty-four places and rather more than twenty-four people we would like to invite, so this starts as a waiting list. Add your name. We will confirm the field shortly, and anyone we cannot fit goes onto the reserve list, which moves more than you would think.
