          E-commerce, online marketing, digital signage,
        
        
          social media and cloud computing; these were
        
        
          the main themes at the latest eShow Barcelona,
        
        
          an event devoted to the business opportunities
        
        
          offered by online technology.
        
        
          With 130 exhibitors and 200 talks and
        
        
          debates staged at Palace 8 at the Montjuïc
        
        
          venue, eShow Barcelona became consolidated
        
        
          as the reference event for these sectors in
        
        
          the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America. The
        
        
          participants included speakers from companies
        
        
          like Airbnb, Atrapalo.com and Telefónica, whilst
        
        
          one of the outstanding events was the Net
        
        
          Fashion Forum, giving visitors insight into the
        
        
          experiences in the digital environment of such
        
        
          fashion brands as Pepe Jeans, Desigual and
        
        
          Textura, amongst others.
        
        
          Another important participant at eShow was
        
        
          EMOTA, the European Multi-channel and Online
        
        
          Trade Association. This body, which has its
        
        
          headquarters in Brussels, defends the interests
        
        
          of distance sellers who operate through a range
        
        
          of channels. At eShow, EMOTA organised the
        
        
          International E-commerce, at which China was
        
        
          the guest country.
        
        
          Entrepreneurs were also invited to take part
        
        
          in the Womenalia StartUp Day by ONO, at which
        
        
          the companies selected that wanted to launch
        
        
          or promote their Internet projects could defend
        
        
          their proposals at the Kereitsu investment and
        
        
          enter a funding round.
        
        
          The innovations presented by Spanish
        
        
          websites engaged in e-commerce were the
        
        
          protagonists of the eAwards. The companies
        
        
          BlaBlaCar, Tailor4less and Rastreator received
        
        
          prizes for their developments, which seek to
        
        
          improve the shopping experience of customers
        
        
          or web surfers.
