MAD Conference 2024, which took place in Warsaw on June 10-12, brought together over 300 Amazon sellers from 28 countries around the world.
Our colleague, Svetlana Fomina, Business Development & Sales, attended MAD Conference 2024. She listened to presentations and visited workshops, exchanged knowledge and experience with speakers and participants, gained practical skills, and was inspired by new ideas to stay on top of the latest e-commerce trends.
