Cross-promo: GA4 and Going Headless

Welcome back speeders!

To get back into the spirit of meeting up, we're cross-promoting an IN-PERSON event with ECOMsquare at their new space in Kitsilano.

There will be a chat about headless ecommerce best practices, which may appeal to some folks on here, as there are serious UX and webperf considerations!

RSVP on meetup DOES NOT guarantee a spot. Please buy ticket through the Eventbrite page:

About the event:
We have seen a paradigm shift in the ecommerce world, from the eruption of mobile commerce to the growth of social media. Satisfying the modern customer thereby entails better web interactivity and eliminating single-threaded constraints. How should online retailers go about navigating this change?

Say hello to headless commerce: web architecture built for speed. Headless commerce systems deliver flexibility and personalization to the forefront of user experiences. As a result, expect better customer satisfaction and higher conversion rates.

Take it up a notch by data tracking using Google Analytics 4 (GA4). Utilize this tool to identify key customer behaviours that matter to all ecommerce brands: from visits, to product detail views and adds-to-cart, to checkouts and transactions.
