## About the Organizer
Hi, I'm Zahid, founder and CEO of Conzia Inc.
I started my career in the corporate world before eventually leaving my job and focusing on entrepreneurship.
When I first entered ecommerce, I had to learn through experimentation, mistakes and experience.
Over the years, I went on to build and work with multiple online businesses using Shopify and Amazon.
Today, I share what I've learned about ecommerce, Shopify, Amazon, AI, digital marketing and entrepreneurship through free meetups and educational workshops.
More than 20,000 entrepreneurs have joined our communities, meetups and webinars.
