Meet Magento France 2026: the ecosystem isn’t done yet !

Some events you look forward to with curiosity, others with impatience. The second edition of Meet Magento France fell firmly into the second category. After a historic first edition that proved the French community had plenty to say, the question was simple: could we do even better? The answer is yes!

A community event, in the truest sense of the word
To understand what Meet Magento France is, you first need to understand what OpenGento is. The association has been bringing together the French Magento and Adobe Commerce community for years. It’s behind Bargento — the ecosystem’s historic and informal gathering, those evenings that brought passionate people together long before large conferences existed. It also organises community weekends, more intimate formats where developers and agencies collectively contribute to open source projects, away from the noise of conferences.
Meet Magento France is the large-scale version of that spirit. What makes it unique is that the event is co-organised by the ecosystem’s own agencies. Partners on stage, competitors on the market, but united around a shared conviction: this community is built together, not in silos.
This year, Cannelle Lemnos and Olivier Haesen from ATI4 Group joined the co-organisation of this second edition alongside the OpenGento teams and event partners. Several months of preparation, an even more ambitious programme than the first edition — two tracks (business and technical) and a venue worthy of a community that keeps on growing: the Salons de l’Aveyron in Paris.
ATI4 Group was also a Gold sponsor of this edition. A commitment that goes beyond a logo on a stand. It’s the conviction that the Adobe Commerce / Magento ecosystem is built outside of client projects just as much as within them.

250 people and incredible energy!
On 25 June 2026, from the very first conversations in the corridors, one thing was clear: people weren’t there to sit through yet another conference day. They were there because they missed the community, because they had questions Google can’t answer, and because there’s no better place to gauge what’s really happening in the market than a conversation with someone who just lived through the same project as you.
250 attendees — merchants, integrators, solution publishers, developers. Business profiles rubbing shoulders with technical architects, and CTOs deep in conversation with e-commerce directors. That’s the real value of an event like Meet Magento: all the conversations it sparks.

Without giving everything away, a few key themes ran through the day from start to finish.
AI is no longer a forward-looking topic. It’s in production, at real merchants, with measurable results. Teams that have integrated it into their workflow aren’t going back — and the gap is widening with those still waiting.
B2B complexity took centre stage. Concrete projects showed that, when properly mastered, this complexity becomes a barrier to entry that generic solutions simply cannot replicate.
Product data remains the foundation of everything. Several speakers, across very different sectors, said the same thing: invest in your data before launching your platform. Everything else will perform twice as well on solid foundations.
And Magento, contrary to what some predict, is consolidating. 173 billion euros in annual transactions, strong Hyvä adoption growth in France and across Europe, and an accelerating Adobe roadmap.

Our clients on stage
What perhaps moved us most this year was seeing our clients take the floor. Two very different projects, two markets worlds apart — and yet the same conviction at the core: you can’t digitalise a business without first understanding how it works.
Aurore for the Uniwax project
Aurore travelled from Abidjan to share the e-commerce journey of Uniwax, an iconic textile brand from Côte d’Ivoire. A rare conference that brought Meet Magento France a perspective the ecosystem hears far too rarely: that of an African market, with its own codes, its own habits, its own constraints.
Aurore demonstrated that adaptation is not a compromise. Social media before the website, Mobile Money before the bank card, entry-level mobile before desktop. It’s a competitive advantage. And the results speak for themselves. Since our involvement in 2021:
- ×29 on conversion rate
- +112% in e-commerce revenue
- 36 countries now served
Sophie & Nawelle for the Neut project
Sophie and Nawelle shared the digital transformation of Neut, a family business founded in 1923 and specialist in B2B orthopaedics. An 18-month project, 12 of which were dedicated solely to structuring product data — before even opening Magento.
“Our strength is people. Our weakness was digital.” A courageous transformation, carried out with rigour, which culminated in the launch of Neut’s B2B e-commerce platform in February 2026. In numbers, the Neut project means:
- 6,000+ references reprocessed and restructured
- 33 product categories created
- 15M€ in revenue
- ~2,000 new references currently being integrated
The decisions that still felt like “later” can no longer wait. AI is in production. Agentic commerce is coming. Payment infrastructures are transforming. And B2B complexity, well-architected, becomes a lasting competitive advantage.
At ATI4 Group, we’ve been supporting e-commerce projects on Adobe Commerce and Magento for years — from a SME’s first B2B site to the replatforming of a multi-country brand. What we took away from this day is that the questions you’re asking yourself about your platform, your data, your roadmap — others have asked them before you. And answers exist.
To go further
We’ve gathered everything that was said that day into a comprehensive white paper, structured around major themes, with concrete case studies, figures and directly actionable insights for B2B, B2C and B2B2C e-commerce decision-makers. Relive the day!

With new buyer expectations and the transformation of usage patterns, B2B e-commerce has become a growth driver.
The B2B journey is more thoughtful, longer, often interrupted, but rarely insignificant. When a user adds a product to their cart, they demonstrate genuine interest in the brand and/or its product. An abandoned cart is therefore not necessarily an end in itself, but can be the beginning of a purchase intention.
Product information is vast, so how to manage, structure, and distribute it without friction ?
When we think of e-commerce, we often picture a consumer comfortably seated on their couch, placing an order from a computer or smartphone. Yet, another reality of e-commerce deserves our full attention: B2B.
