The event will show how new processes, the consolidation of players, the arrival of overseas stores, and new regulation may contribute to reshaping the industry.
Among the other topics of the forum are the emerging marketing tools and channels, the online-offline hybrid models, as well as the investment successes and failures of the year.
Among the participants are leading Russian and international e-commerce players, including representatives from Nikon, Re:Store, Old Hottabych, BaBaDu, 220 Volt, Korablik MosIgra, ForOffice, Tiu, Snezhnaya Koroleva (Snow Queen), Sberbank, Everada, Multiship, and Love Republic, as well as top officials from the Ministry of Communications and industry associations.
