No, your senses are not playing tricks on you. The reason behind this anomaly is Snowdog’s active attendance in CMS Africa Summit (Nairobi, Kenya). The very first edition of cross-African initiative to seed, share and spread the knowledge about open source CMS solutions.

What’s the story behind calling company a Snowdog? Sled dogs and beauty of this unique human-animals cooperation. Mostly because of passion for these great dogs and what they represent, many years ago I decided to call the business Snowdog. Sled dogs teams are all about something that we really have to care of in our business – team work, trust and competition, dedication but also fun. When it comes to racing, you view the team as a one entity, dogs and human. Animals compete also inside one team, so the musher’s tasks it to direct the energy in right direction. Too much of interference affects the efficiency of the whole team, so two-way communication among team members and musher has to be error-free, there is no way for misunderstandings. Reading dogs behavior signs and clear commands are key to success. Does it sound familiar? It should. Dogs-human team work is not that different from what we need to build to achieve success in business.
Like with many other fast-developing industries, eCommerce is one the areas where it is difficult to recruit. The reason is simple – the only way to confirm skills and knowledge is to revise our candidate’s experience listed in CV and try to judge upon it. You can try to verify it somehow but what really counts is not “verifiable” in 45 minutes of the interview. Not even during two. Polish eCommerce market is also specific in a certain way. It is growing fast but also it requires top professionals to develop in the right direction.
We really are looking forward to that event. Not only because SEO field is in our business goals and interests of our customers, but also because many promising lectures in eCommerce-related areas are going to be given during Search Marketing Day 2013.
Germany is country of origin and home of Meet Magento. For the seventh time, Meet Magento DE was organized with a great precision, big show and effective two-day networking. It is really great to share this amazing time with people who have the same or similar interest, point of view and (or) way of working.
Yes! Just in a few days we’re going to attend Magento Imagine in Vegas. It’s going to be legendary, just as last 2012 edition. Why is it so important? It’s spectacular, it’s essential, it’s big. And it’s really worth going. We can’t remember any other event where you could meet so many Magento community members: developers, freelancers, enthusiasts – also merchants. During last Imagine we’ve met also a few of our present customers: big companies looking for Magento specialists...
There is that joke – “making a weekend off the Internet means updating Facebook status via your phone”. But let’s have a close look at this. Being up-to-date is one of the key values, not only in eCommerce but in our reality in general. Variety of ways of communication are not a coincidence but a sign of a modern lifestyle.
There is no need to introduce Polish eCommerce Fair Trade (Targi eHandlu) to anyone. It’s already well known among on-line business owners and on-line service providers. The event is already very significant as it creates a great opportunity to meet in person people with whom we cooperate on-line on a daily basis and – of course – make new business acquaintances. You can meet there interactive agencies, logistic service providers, price comparison platforms representatives, online payment providers, e-shop platforms representatives, on-line communication tools providers and many, many others. We must admit that if there is anything related to eCommerce, any kind of business, you will find it on Polish eCommerce Fair Trade (Targi eHandlu). This is a great opportunity to learn more about eCommerce world from the bottom to the top. Within 3 editions the event managed to gather 4000 visitors and 250 exhibitors, quite impressive numbers! ;)
CeBIT 2013 was a special event. Enormous space, thousands of people, industry development in a full picture. Variety of topics, new business acquaintances, many interesting presentations and full business card holder – probably it’s not only our impression of this event. Together with Meet Magento guys – Thomas, Annemarie and Alice – we wish to keep all good memories and this video and photos may help us ;)
