Seamless Middle East: a meeting of minds, summit and exhibition in the world of fintech, payments, retail and e-commerce took place recently at World Trade Centre Dubai. With 10,000 attendees, 300 speakers, and countless connections being made in person. This event is a key meeting place for the brave new world of commerce. Having been built on 23 years of experience – Seamless is a dynamic summit and large scale exhibition bringing together the converging worlds of ecommerce, retail and payments, under the patronage of His Highness Lieutenant-General Sheikh Saif Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Interior. We sent our resident IT specialist to find out more.
It feels wonderful to be back and able to attend live events, especially an event like Seamless where the main focus is the commerce sector. Personally, we believe nothing beats the physical environment dedicated around commerce.
Our IT Specialist found it really fruitful connecting with various suppliers and e-commerce providers like Bigcommerce, Algolia etc. Additionally it was a great opportunity to connect with various e-commerce integration teams with dedicated order management systems that provide various payment gateways currently available in the Middle-East.
There were various demonstrations of how Artificial Intelligence is used for smart warehouse storage management, with automated robots for managing and moving the stocks, packing, etc. Here we got to see, in person, how Amazon and others like them use this technology in the fulfilment centres and distribution hubs of the future.
