Case studies for the win
The thing that sets our conference apart is that we want to hear real-life stories from store owners and service providers.
These are the people who know their business inside and out, and who can provide valuable insights into the day-to-day operations of a retail business. They can also offer unique perspectives on the challenges and opportunities that they face on a daily basis. As such, we believe that they are an essential part of our conference and we would like to encourage them to submit their proposals in our Call for Papers.
Our Advisory Board prioritizes case studies over generic topics and puts emphasis on them.
Let us share a few case studies and topics that have been successful over the last few years as an inspiration for you:

We want to hear your story – no matter who you are, where you’re from, or what your experience is.
#2 We promote actionable case studies
Our event is all about sharing knowledge and best practices. That’s why we are looking for case studies that our attendees can relate to and learn from.
If you have a great project or a case study to share, don’t hesitate to submit your proposal. We want to know how it worked, what steps you took, and what the results were. You may be given a chance to present it, solo or with your client, in front of thousands of attendees!

#3 We want your business to shine!
We’re always on the lookout for new and innovative businesses that are shaking up the status quo. If your company is doing something unique in the e-commerce space, we want to hear from you!

Who can submit their proposal?
We invite all e-commerce specialists who have experience in any of the Expo topics to submit their proposal.
Fathy Abdelmonam, for instance, had been a visitor to our Expo for a few years before he decided to participate in CFP. As soon as he did (and got advanced to EBE), the whole room listened to him!
What’s more, you will have a chance to share your knowledge with other e-commerce specialists and learn from the best in the industry. Our stages have seen some of the most influential figures in e-commerce, so you will definitely have a lot to learn.
We can’t wait to hear your brilliant ideas!
