solutions and will take place this November in Istanbul.

Key speaker at the event, Vural Cifci, VP of Online Marketing &
Business Intelligence at Trendyol, offers his perspective on the
opportunities for overseas investors looking to move into Turkey:

"The [Turkish] online population is engaging in e-commerce
activities, and natural growth will continue within the next couple
of years. Businesses that discover how to utilize mobile and social
platforms will be the ultimate winners."

Global Mail Russia, who will take part in two days of discussions

of social media to advance e-commerce, and providing an overview of
the Turkish market. Practical tips can also be gained from the
