Charting New Horizons: ERA Global Summer Conference in Palma de Mallorca
We are excited to announce that the ERA Global Summer Conference 2026 will take place from 1–3 June 2026 in the stunning coastal city of Palma de Mallorca, Spain – a new destination for our community, set against the vibrant backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea.
Following the incredible momentum of our recent events in Malta and El Vendrell, next year’s conference invites to chart new horizons in the world of Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) retail. With its scenic marina views and rich cultural landscape, Palma offers the perfect setting for growth, innovation and global connections.
The Hotel Meliá Palma Marina, located directly at the city’s marina and near Palma’s historic centre, serves as the official venue. It offers modern conference facilities and convenient access for international attendees.
The ERA Global Summer Conference is recognised as one of the key industry events in the calendar year, particularly for companies active in global consumer selling via television, digital platforms and electronic media.
