The eCommerce Day Montevideo 2017 aims to bring together more than 800 business leaders, entrepreneurs and business executives, who will have access to multiple workshops and thematic talks, exchange of experiences, business cases, new trends and challenges of the sector for the region and the world from the hand of prominent national and international exhibitors in the most important e-commerce meeting in the country.
There are several factors that make the digital economy grow and with it the supply of companies that market services and products over the Internet, as demand matures in the country.
"Uruguay holds the first place in e-commerce penetration in the region. The numbers indicate that more than one million Uruguayans have bought online and events like Cyber Monday prove it. E-commerce has gone from being strategic for companies to having a real value in the present time. For these companies to participate in eCommerce Day is not optional, it is a day in which they share and receive information, data and experiences that will surely be a fundamental input in day-to-day decision making," said Marcelo Montado, president of CEDU.
In terms of electronic payments, the use of credit and debit cards has multiplied by 13 in almost three years, both in terms of number of transactions and amounts transacted.
With regard to Internet access, according to the latest Continuous Household Survey, 77% of the poorest households and 91% of the richest households have Internet access.
As for the use of smartphones, last year it reached 74%, with a variation of 174%. The impact of this type of cell phones made the Internet connection on the move climb to 41%, when in 2013 it was only 19%.
"The industry continues to consolidate in Uruguay, hand in hand with the aforementioned factors and government policies that drive the sustained growth of eCommerce in the country. That is why we are committed to holding events such as eCommerce Day on a continuous and sustained basis over time in pursuit of the incentive and development of e-commerce as a driver of local and regional economy," said Marcos Pueyrredon, president of the eCommerce Institute.
During the event there will be plenaries and workshops, which will be dictated by recognized experts on current issues and latest trends on the Digital Economy and Internet Business. There will be lectures in the morning and thematic workshops in the afternoon. See program.
The meeting will also include the Doctor Web Cycle, an eCommerce clinic that will allow attendees, after selection and application, to receive advice on their eCommerce to increase profitability and conversion.
Another of the proposals will be the Ominicommerce Experience, a series of technical visits to leading companies to learn in detail the "end to end" operation of an eCommerce and the possibility of interacting with the teams that carry out the Marketing, Commercial, Operations, SAC and Logistics areas, who will share the successes and challenges to overcome every day.
