Ecommerce and Retail Summit
- Sofia Tech Park, John Atanasoff Innovation Forum and Online on Hopin
The event
The last few years were hardly a standard case in the ecommerce and retail industry. COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the shift to ecommerce by 5 years and online sales broke all the possible records in 2021. Today, Internet is on its way to becoming the most powerful shopping mall and all the retailers are busy more than ever with developing or improving their omnichannel strategies.
Meanwhile, both ecommerce and retail are experiencing tough challenges such as a chip shortage, massive supply chain issues, volatile inflation and general uncertainty. Consumer’s preferences are continuing to evolve. It will be more and more difficult for the brands to fight for loyalty when the consumers have so many choices, huge expectations and an increased appetite for experience.
All this shows that retail and ecommerce leaders will have to rethink traditional approaches and visions for the future. There are a few big trends that will determine their next steps.
The 17th edition of Ecommerce and Retail Summit, organized by Capital, aims to help and navigate the future-proofed leaders from Bulgaria and the region in line with the tectonic shift in the industry. The forum remains the one must-attend events to exchange knowledge, experience, and best practices and create partnerships that drive businesses forward.
