Bled Electronic Commerce Conference

The Bled Electronic Commerce Conference is one of the oldest of its kind in Europe. Started in 1988, the focus topic has shifted from EDI to everything regarding the application of Internet technology (E-Everything). The conference takes place yearly in June.

The conference attracts speakers and delegates from business, government, information technology providers and universities and is the major venue for researchers working in any aspect of Electronic Commerce. The conference venue is the alpine village of Bled, 30 km south of the Austrian border - one of the most beautiful spots imaginable.

The conference has a wide appeal, offering:

A fully-refereed Research Track, devoted to researchers in all aspects of Electronic Commerce
A Business and Government Track which attracts eminent business and government people from Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific region
A Graduate Student Consortium and Educational Symposium for students researching any aspect of Electronic Commerce.
