Magento has one of the most vibrant communities across the world. There is a great mix of retailers, vendors and developers. Magento events are not just about business or selling, but is about connecting with people and transforming the retail industry. It is our third official Magento event this year after the Imagine Conference in Las Vegas, NV and Magento Live event in London.
With a high level of Internet penetration (More than 92%), Australians spend the highest on an average order more than anyone else in the world ($142 in 2013). Also it is estimated that on an average, an online consumer in Australia spends close to $2,000 per year. Because of this surge in Ecommerce, one among five Australian retailers with annual sales between $50,000 and $200,000 are listed on e-bay. The total Ecommerce sales reached its peak at $37 billion dollars in 2013, a 12% increase compared to the previous year. Magento leading this ecommerce market with a 45% market share, retailers have more reasons to attend this event.
DCKAP is excited to attend the Magento Live event in Sydney and meet with fellow leaders in the Magento community. The food and evening party at Magento events are always a delight and look forward to the excitement.
