Expandly at DTC Live

As part of the DTC Live 2026 programme, Expandly is proud to be an active sponsor across the full series — from the main stage to the networking floor. We’re present at the sessions that matter, contributing hands-on insights on scaling DTC brands internationally, navigating operational complexity, and building sustainable growth in UK and EU markets.

UPCOMING EVENT

We're heading to Manchester - come find us

Our next event is DTC Live Connect MCR on 7 May 2026 at New Century Hall, Manchester. Doors open at 9:00 AM and the day runs through to 5:00 PM.

Expandly founder Andy Hooper will be taking the stage — bringing 17 years of international expansion experience and insight from more than 2,500 brands to a room of founders and growth teams who are ready to move.

If you’re considering European expansion, already shipping internationally, or trying to figure out how to build a profitable EU operation before July 1, this is a conversation worth being in.

Featured Speaker:

Andy Hooper, Founder - Expandly

Andy has spent 17 years helping ecommerce brands enter and grow in international markets. He’s worked across more than 2,500 brand expansions – from early-stage DTC businesses proving demand in a new country to established multi-channel operators building full EU infrastructure.

At DTC Live Connect MCR, Andy will be sharing what it actually takes to scale internationally in 2026 – the compliance realities, the operational decisions, and the commercial playbook that separates brands that break through from those that stall.
