CROSS BORDER SUMMIT 2026

Fellowship for Global Ecommerce Founders & Operators

πŸ“… November 3 - 5, 2026 | πŸ“ Chiang Mai, Thailand

What is the Cross Border Summit?

Cross-border ecommerce is no longer one route between Asia and the West. Founders now sell through multiple marketplaces, build brands for many regions, source from a wider network of countries, and use technology to operate from anywhere.

Cross Border Summit is here to help you do just that:

  • Learn practical strategies from sellers and operators who are actively building global ecommerce businesses.
  • Meet founders, agencies, platforms, and service providers who can help you enter new markets and scale responsibly.
  • Build authentic relationships in a smaller, collaborative room designed for open knowledge sharingβ€”not hype.

Our Origin Story

After years of podcasting, Mike noticed more and more subscribers wanting to meet while coming to the trade shows. Meeting a few for coffee became overwhelming, and then the idea was born.

The idea grew into a summit where cross-border operators could discuss the issues that are hardest to solve alone: operations, marketplaces, sourcing, marketing, culture, partnerships, and growth.

In 2026, the summit returns to that core with the theme Fellowship: good people sharing practical knowledge with kindness and openness, helping one another grow across markets and borders.
