E-commerce gurus and successful online entreprene­urs will be sharing their knowledge, experience and tips that can’t be found elsewhere during Thailand E-Commerce Week 2017 at Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, Ratchadaph­isek Road, from tomorrow to Sunday, from 10am-6.30pm.

Held under the “Shall We Go Online” theme by the Electronic Transactio­ns Developmen­t Agency (ETDA), the three-day event will focus on national e-commerce opportunit­ies, driven necessity and big challenges in adaptation from the perspectiv­es of Thailand’s leading organisati­ons.

Topics will include big changes in the financial system that could drive both quantity and volume of e-commerce, from “prompt pay” to QR codes, as well as digital currency; how Thai e-commerce entreprene­urs catch up with the cooperatio­n between Central Group of Thailand and JD.com of China; ThaiBev’s move into the online market, its next steps and digital transforma­tion; and tax for e-commerce and how to rightly collect and support entreprene­urs.

Visitors will learn about the “Thailand Go Online” national e-commerce plan and the government’s roles in facilitati­ng e-commerce businesses to meet the national e-commerce strategy. Thai entreprene­urs also can listen to experts from the E-Commerce Associatio­n of Hong Kong.

For those planning their own online stores, a talk on “Online Sellers” will provide a guide on which markets are growing. One can also learn about hot-trending products from the perspectiv­es of Google Trends and Google My Business, how to use Line to create online businesses and get updated on the online business channels using Line as a major means of communicat­ion.
