ICEEG 2024

The 8th International Conference on E-Commerce, E-Business, and E-Government (ICEEG 2024), and the 13th International Conference on Economics and Finance Research (ICEFR 2024), were scheduled to take place at Ajman University, Ajman, United Arab Emirates, from May 28–30, 2024. However, due to multiple reasons, the conference committee decided to transition the conference to an online format to accommodate the majority of authors' requirements.

The conference commenced with opening remarks from Prof. Akinola Olatunde Fadahunsi, Dean of the College of Business Administration at Ajman University, UAE. Prof. Fadahunsi set the tone for the conference, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and knowledge exchange in the fields of e-commerce and digital business.

The keynote session was hosted by Prof. Guangming Cao, Head of the Digital Transformation Research Center at Ajman University, UAE. His leadership in this session facilitated engaging discussions and interactions with the keynote speakers.
