E-commerce search receives a lot of attention nowadays - quite different from 2017 when we started
MICES (Mix-Camp E-Commerce Search) and e-commerce search was much less established than search in other domains.
The e-commerce search community has grown over the years and MICES has become THE European community event to
bring together experts of different backgrounds - such as IT, product managers, UX designers, search managers,
information retrieval specialists, data scientists, search engine vendors - to discuss challenges, ideas, best practices,
and case studies in the e-commerce search domain during this informal one-day event.
We're very excited to announce that MICES will take place in Berlin on 18th June as an in-person event right
after our Berlin Buzzwords partner event.
About MICES
Format
MICES brings together participants from a variety of backgrounds, all sharing a common interest in e-commerce search.
In order to stimulate and facilitate discussion, we will start with scheduled talks in the morning.
This will be followed by self-organising sessions: participants are encouraged to initiate discussions about their topics
of interest or to give an ad hoc presentation.

The workshop welcomes all topics related to e-commerce search. We have compiled a list of topics that will probably feature
at the workshop. This list is not comprehensive. Participants are welcome to discuss further topics at the workshop.

- Personalised e-commerce search
- Choosing the right search technology
- Tools and processes for 'Searchandizing'
