IRP Commerce is delighted to be headline sponsor for Northern Ireland’s first ever dedicated ecommerce conference – eComm Live.
It is aimed at retailers – including both those already selling online and those who are keen to start – digital agencies, ecommerce professionals, entrepreneurs and marketeers.
The event, which will take place at the Life Church in Belfast on May 2, was founded by entrepreneur and experienced digital marketing professional Kevin Traynor, to provide a resource for the fast-growing number of businesses selling online in Northern Ireland.
It is estimated that ecommerce revenues hit £69 billion in the UK last year, with some 80 per cent of people having bought something online and fashion representing the largest percentage of sales.
“The inaugural 2019 eComm Live Conference will be a celebration of excellence across the entire ecommerce industry in the UK and Ireland. It will be NI’s first conference dedicated entirely to ecommerce professionals, entrepreneurs, product and platform providers, digital marketers and agencies – or anyone who wants to learn about selling online,” Kevin said.
“Digital commerce is booming and given the explosive growth of ecommerce I felt there was a need for a new conference to give the professionals working in the industry up to date information, insights and analysis on key ecommerce trends.”
More than 200 ecommerce professionals are expected to attend eComm Live to hear nationally renowned speakers including Gemma Spence, CEO of Omnicom Media Group’s ecommerce division and NI ecommerce experts including IRP Commerce, Groundswell Growth, Origin Digital and Airpos.
The event is also supported by trade body Retail NI. Its Chief Executive Glyn Roberts said that while some traditional High Street retailers have struggled to compete with online retailers, many other retail businesses have embraced ecommerce to expand their customer base.
Topics to be discussed at eComm Live will include: UX in ecommerce; SEO for ecommerce; how AI will impact retailers; and how content is key for growing your ecommerce business.
