"Throughout the event, I was impressed by the quality of the presentations and the level of knowledge and expertise demonstrated by the speakers and panelists."

Head of eCommerce Konga Group

"The issue we face in the industry is that we tend to rely on self-initiated research or aggressive (and often misplaced) prospecting to stumble upon new ways of doing things. ECOM Africa takes this tension away and even goes as far as spoiling one for choice!"

Customer Ops Leader OneDayOnly

"The conference featured a wide range of informative and engaging sessions, covering everything from trends, strategies, and practical advice to technology."
