Cross-Border Connect Meetup at GPeC Romania
Small room. Big cross-border questions.
During GPeC Summit Bucharest, the Cross-Border Commerce Association created a different kind of meeting space for Romanian e-commerce sellers.
Not a lecture. Not a panel. Not another “here are ten tips for going global” moment.
We gathered local merchants in a focused, merchant-only session built around one practical question: what really stands in the way when a Romanian online store starts selling across the region?
The conversation moved through nearby markets such as Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary, and Romania, with a strong focus on the details that usually don’t fit neatly into a keynote: local trust, shipping expectations, product data, customer habits, and the small operational gaps that can slow expansion down.
It was direct, useful, and grounded in the day-to-day reality of e-commerce teams.
The market minds
The meetup brought together the Cross-Border Commerce Association team and invited experts:
Marcin Pondo – CrossBorder24
Mark Torok – CrossBorder24
Nikola Ilchev – Balkan eCommerce Summit
Octavian Dumitrescu – DyerAI
Vladimir Armanko-Zachi – TrustMate
Jerzy Krawczyk – TrustMate
Together, they supported the discussion with hands-on experience from cross-border commerce, local market entry, trust, customer behaviour, data, and e-commerce growth across the region.
