## Event Summary

**June 9, 2026 · 18:30 – 22:00 CET · Barcelona** 
*Beyond the Shore* is a private 3-hour catamaran cruise hosted by parcelLab and FedEx, designed for a curated group of senior retail executives from Europe’s leading consumer brands. No slides. No pitches. Just open water, a tapas dinner, drinks, and an honest conversation about what post-purchase experience actually looks like for the brands getting it right in 2026.

**What to expect**

- 20+ C-Suite, VP, and Director-level leaders from prominent European retailers (100M+ ARR)
- An unscripted fireside exchange between parcelLab and FedEx — real data, not a pitch deck
- Peer-to-peer conversation guided by the questions your industry is actually wrestling with tapas dinner and drinks included throughout the evening

This is deliberately small, deliberately senior, and deliberately away from the noise — because the most valuable conversations in retail rarely happen under fluorescent lights.

**Seats are limited, make sure not to miss yours.**
