The conference, strongly associated with its organiser, Nikola Ilchev (with whom we recently spoke about the future of Balkan e-commerce), is shaping up to be one of the most relevant gatherings for anyone serious about growth in Central and Eastern Europe. In that interview, Ilchev highlighted a key shift: the region is no longer “emerging”—it’s becoming a competitive, innovation-driven market where cross-border thinking, data, and partnerships will define winners.
What’s New: AI, Pricing, Logistics and Cross-border Insights
According to the latest updates from the summit organisers, the speaker lineup continues to expand with experts covering critical areas of modern e-commerce:
- Jesse Weltevreden (CEO of RankmyAI) will bring a data-driven perspective on AI ecosystems, tracking over 60,000 tools and companies globally. His session will focus on cutting through the hype and identifying what actually matters for business.
- Gabriela Ivanova will address consumer and competition law, helping businesses navigate compliance – an increasingly decisive factor for trust and growth.
- Simeon Lukov will dive into AI-powered pricing strategies, showing how to balance margins, demand, and competition using real data.
- Carmen Cureu will share insights from large-scale European studies, including cross-border shopping behaviour and delivery expectations.
- Maher Tarazi will focus on fulfilment and logistics, explaining how stronger operational control can unlock scalable international growth.
