While at the conference, we concentrated mostly in the X.commerce and Magento tracks, learning a lot of insight into these new technologies and software. Several new and upcoming features and functionality from PayPal and eBay, Inc. was also presented and discussed. The conference not only gave good insight into upcoming technologies but also gave good insight into best business practices for our clients for the upcoming years. There was a lot of discussion on how mobile technology will shape the buying world today. With the information that Henry & I brought back from the conference, we’re working to implement some new technologies and also help best advise clients on current trends in e-Commerce.
