Ecommerce Expo, 26 Sep, 2019 Olympia, London, United Kingdom STIQs verdict (of 5 possible): Event link: Ecommerce Expo EcommerceExpo is collocated with two other shows in the Olympia trade show halls in West London and frequently has a queue of people outside waiting to get in.

#Vcommerce #AugmentedReality #ArtificialIntelligence Our next in-deth retail technology sector report will look at developments in "immersive retail".
