This year’s top themes do not only include e-commerce for B2B and B2C businesses, but also CRM systems, marketing automation, conversational commerce, microservices and, last but not least, the trend topic internet or commerce of things. Furthermore the speakers will explain how digital solutions can work out even with very special requirements, why you should sometimes allow yourself mistakes in the online race and what agile working with an agency can look like.
