E-commerce in Southeast Asia is making great strides to innovate with more technologies available and better infrastructure being put into place. Merchants, e-commerce technologists, marketing and technology agencies, and logistics companies are all part of the e-commerce ecosystem, but until recently there was no central platform or event designed to bring them together to exchange insights and value across industries. Fortunately, there’s an event to assemble the e-commerce community to collaborate and innovate. Meet Magento, with over 40 events a year and previously been held in over 24 countries, is the premier global conference for e-commerce professionals around the world.
The first regional e-commerce event will be held in Bangkok on November 8th, 2018. This will be the event’s first opening in Asia, organised by SmartOSC, A Leading Ecommerce Solution Provider in Asia. According to research firm Statistica’s report, Thailand is one of the most important contributor to the growth of e-commerce in the region, with total revenue amounts to US$3,648m in 2018. The market is expected to show an annual growth rate of 13.3%, resulting in a market volume of over 6 billion US dollar by 2022. This is a huge opportunity for Thai business to grow their online presence. However, at the same time it is a threat as the market will be highly competitive with interest from international online retailers and marketplaces.
This year’s Meet Magento Asia will cover a wide range of topics from omnichannel strategy, B2B online commerce, optimization strategy, payment, and many more. Online shopping has permeated modern culture. With e-commerce becoming an integral part of everyone’s daily lives, much of this year’s event will focus oncustomer experience, highlighting new technologies and marketing methods, best practices, optimizing customer engagement and lifetime value.
The conference introduced business and technical tracks focused on the needs of the different attendees. Attendees will benefit from Meet Magento’s networking opportunity as well, which connects e-commerce professionals across industries and helps them promote their businesses and expand network. We are expected to welcome speakers from Oglivy, Asus and leading Indonesian retailer Kanmo Group along with top experts from Magento and Adobe. From cutting-edge technology talks, industry leader presentations, and networking, Meet Magento Asia has it all.
This year, Meet Magento Asia goes further than ever before with its strategic partnerships to build high value for attendees and customers alike, including Magento technology partners Emarsys, InSync and Rackspace. The conference will bring the best and the latest to the field, making it a flagship event for online and offline retailers in both B2C and B2B commerce. Attendees can expect to find hundreds of prospective clients, industry experts and solution vendors.
With the spirit of a community event, Meet Magento Asia organizer is opening the opportunity for everyone to share their expertise and experience. By engaging developers and merchants, the event will be able to gather a unique community which few ecosystems can parallel in terms of value.
