Handelskraft Conference 2018: Mobilise. Digitise. Profit! Posted on 25. January 201825. January 2018 | by Sara Herrera Credit: dotSourceThe future of business is undoubtedly digital. At the Handelskraft Conference on the 20th of February 2018 in Munich, we want to mobilise retail, talk about real business and tell real stories about the digital reality and its challenges – with trends, best practices and new impulses.

In order to reach the checkpoints, you need the right equipment and knowledge. This is what we want to offer our participants at the Handelskraft Conference. Furthermore, live simultaneous English translation will be available for our international guests for the first time! Continue (5 vote(s), average: 4.80 out of 5)Loading... Categories E-Commerce
