15 Oct, 2015 No Comments

Meet Magento Russia 2015 is the third Meet Magento conference held in Moscow indicating close attention to this emerging market demonstrated by the community and ecosystem, as a whole.

Meet Magento Russia 2015

The ecommerce market in Russia is just establishing its standards and standing far from the saturation. The number of online shoppers is pretty large and mostly consists of young and middle-aged people with an average income and above. Still, the revenue generated online takes only 2% of total retail sales, which is five time lower than the ecommerce share e.g. in the total U.S. retail expenditures (Sources: Practicalecommerce.com, Statista.com). Naturally, this potential needs some efficient ecommerce solutions and no one could be better suited for this role than Magento.

Meet Magento Russia 2015

This year the conference is divided into two tracks: technical and commercial. The technical track is intended to Magento developers and comprises next topics: Magento 2 development, Magento performance and hosting, new online stores development tips, etc.

The commercial track features effective business processes, new stores creation peculiarities, Magento business advantages, etc. The conference will take place on October 30.

Venue

Digital October is already a traditional venue for Moscow Magento conferences and meets all participants’ requirements.
