Four streams, carefully selected on the advice of the Advisory Board, tackle the major challenge areas for online retailers. Marketing - as without new customers there would be no business. Global - the rapid growth of cross-border trading brings many new challenges with potential legal ramifications. Omnichannel - eCommerce is becoming increasingly driven by omnichannel but do we really understand it? Mobile - the glue that holds it all together.

Delegates attending will benefit from ONLY hearing from speakers sharing their own experiences. Including Tony Rivenell, the man behind Waitrose's 41.4% growth in online sales - Tony will discuss how a deliberate programme to create true omnichannel personalisation led to significant advantage. Day two keynote, award-winning CEO and Co-Founder of notonthehightstreet.com, Holly Tucker shares insight into the character of the new digital retailer, and shows how disruption, entrepreneurship and determination can help nimble businesses punch well above their weight.
