Thank you all so much for coming – we hope you enjoyed the chance to meet, inspire and be inspired by fellow By Association Only merchants, chat all things new in the world of ecommerce, and of course, eat drink and be merry!





As well as a selection of mouth-watering cocktails and Middle Eastern canapes – including lamb skewers with pistachio pesto and herbs, polenta with mushroom ragout, asparagus, parmesan, and truffle, and fish tartare with herbs, labneh, and dukkah – guests were treated to music by acclaimed DJ Billy Gonzalez.
