Emili Horncastle is speaking at DotDev 2026
The same online store tech is turning up in places you wouldn't expect. On July 22, our co-founder Emili Horncastle takes the stage at DotDev 2026 for a talk called Shopify's Most Unexpected Opportunities.

From luxury hotels to pop star merch, global restaurants, and live events, Shopify is quietly powering real-world commerce experiences that go far beyond the checkout page — and Emili has had a front-row seat to it.

As Co-Founder of Zapiet and Creative Director of Emili Horncastle Atelier, she sits right at that intersection of retail, culture, and commerce, which makes her exactly the right person to unpack where the next opportunities are hiding.

If you're a merchant, app developer, or part of an agency building on Shopify, this is a session designed with you in mind.

DotDev 2026 runs July 21–22 at the Automotive Building, 105 Princes' Blvd, Toronto. Emili's talk is July 22, 2:40–3:25 PM, Room 7.

If you're in Toronto, this one's worth the walk over.
