ECOMsquare Flash Talk
Welcome to this series of ECOMsquare Flash Talks - an opportunity to hear and connect with e-commerce leaders in Vancouver. A space to share any insights and resources that could be helpful for other fellow e-commerce founders/owners, service providers, professionals and students interested in this field.
EVENT FORMAT:
Like always, we'll start with some mingling and networking over drinks and light snacks.
We'll have 2-3 industry experts/thought leaders take the "stage", each armed with 5-10 minutes to share their game-changing strategies, trends, and secrets for e-commerce success. After each talk, you'll have 10 minutes to dive deeper into the topic with the speakers during the Q&A session.
And we'd like to close the night with a quick community pulse check. Here's your opportunity to share any project, challenge, event, campaign, etc. you have going on with the rest of us. Need feedback, advice, connections, and more? This is your time to let us know how we can support you.
