.eu supports e-commerce at eShow Barcelona
Brussels, 27 February 2013 – EURid, the .eu registry, will attend eShow Barcelona in Spain on 13-14 March 2013 to promote .eu as a valuable online asset to more than 8 000 e-commerce professionals and to further raise the top-level domain’s visibility in the local market.
eShow is an annual international trade show which presents the latest developments in the e-commerce industry, including the online marketing, hosting and cloud, and social media sectors.
In addition to its exhibition (stand no. 54), EURid will attend ‘eCoffees’ – a unique opportunity to meet in small groups with online industry experts to debate the most current issues.
.eu registrations grew by 11.1% in Spain between Q3 2011 and Q3 2012, a great achievement in the current global economic climate. In terms of total number of registrations, Spain is one of the top 10 countries in the European Union.
World-class speakers
An important guest at this year’s eShow will be EMOTA, the European Multi-channel and Online Trade Association (www.emota.eu). On 14 March, EMOTA will host an international e-commerce forum in association with eShow Barcelona. The forum is a one-day conference where industry practitioners can share their ideas and insights on profitable cross-border trading and discuss the core issues that will define and shape Europe’s digital commerce agenda.
