There is almost no spectrum of e-commerce left that was not scrutinized at the “Let’s see the future” conference organized by Ecommerce Hungary on June 6 and 7, within the walls of the Thermal Hotel Visegrád.

During the day and a half, the speakers, the participants of the round table discussions, and the organizers of the workshops provided an insight into the current situation, challenges and future vision of the segments related to e-commerce. Fifty lectures in three halls and two workshop halls awaited the record number of more than four hundred participants.

On the morning of the first day, the introductory presentations highlighted that online stores had to face an unprecedented level of stagnation last Christmas, which raises the question of whether the excessive growth caused by the epidemic is now backfiring, or whether domestic e-commerce has really suffocated. But the large increase in the price of food over the past year, which significantly reshaped our shopping habits, could not go unmentioned either.

And in addition to all of this, another powerful trend is the incredible expansion of artificial intelligence, which opens up possibilities that seemed unimaginable from one day to the next, not from year to year, or month to month, or even week to week.
