Unlock the power of eCommerce! #jointheTEAM ☑️In Person - only event

Regardless of the challenges faced, one thing is clear: the eCommerce industry continues to advance and maintain its growth rate year after year. The differences lie in the pace of growth, the top verticals, and the strategies that prove to be successful.

Year after year, ecomTEAM, the Romanian eCommerce team building event, brings together the local community and international specialists in Brașov to discover these winning strategies. Presentations, one-on-one sessions, networking moments, panels, parties – all these elements come together to create a team atmosphere, a large community whose main goal is to be the growth engine of the industry. We will enjoy all these on September 19th and 20th at the Qosmo Hotel in Brașov.

We will build with our participants a realistic picture of the current state of the eCommerce industry, putting together the figures recorded throughout the year and setting perspectives for the next 12 months. We also have leadership and business inspiration sessions offered by the fireside chats in the program.

With a market estimated at around 7 billion dollars, the expected growth for this year is between 10 and 15%. Alongside the present specialists, we will find out what fuels this growth and what online stores need to do to ride this wave.

The eCommerce Interview Marathon, 2nd Edition

We cannot have a true teambuilding of Romanian eCommerce without as many inspirational moments as possible offered by the representatives of online stores.

We continue the eCommerce interview marathon started last year, where online stores can register to share their plans and stories in a video discussion held at the event venue, Qosmo Hotel in Brașov, on September 19th and 20th, 2024.

Many of these video interviews will be accompanied by articles based on the discussion, which we will publish on Wall-street.ro.

ecomTEAM 2024, now reaching its 14th edition, will be centered around unlocking the power of eCommerce, the power of belonging to a community of eCommerce trendsetters. #jointheTEAM this year at the industry's teambuilding, in Brașov!

With more than 50 speakers and 450 participants attending the previous edition, ecomTEAM 2024, organized by Wall Street.ro, plans to gather more and more local and international e-commerce specialists to find out the latest trends in online shopping and cross-border selling.

Book a seat, keep an eye on our website and LinkedIn page to be in touch with the latest news and prepare your online shop for ecomTEAM 2024 on 19&20 of September!

💻 Sessions: Online Shops that Inspire: Tech that Really Makes the Difference and How to Build and Master Marketing Strategies

Advertising costs continue to rise, and 2024 has brought more aggressiveness from Asian players in the battle for user attention. Additionally, we have four rounds of elections that come with their own online promotion campaigns, putting further pressure on the budgets of e-commerce players.

On the other hand, the automation of processes is no longer a luxury only affordable to major players. Solutions based on the latest technologies have become increasingly accessible and already make a difference in the competitiveness of online players.

However, how do we choose the right solutions when everybody promises to change our business with the help of Artificial Intelligence? Also, it is important to understand how to integrate these technologies in a way that is relevant to our customers as well as to the members of the organization.

Why follow these sessions? Our guests come with strategies and concrete figures on the following topics:
