Agenda 

Modern Commerce: So now what?

John Menagh, Commerce Solution Specialist, Sitecore​

We had known previously where Commerce was heading, now we are not so certain. However not all is lost! Let’s review what we know from the past and see how the future might look. Has everything changed or brought more focus and urgency to the things we already knew we should be doing? What will ‘normal’ commerce mean in the near future and can we predict the longer term trends?

Mapping your Commerce Strategy to Changing Digital Customer Behaviour

Beyond Transactions to Experience Driven Commerce

Adriana Chia, Director, Head of Analytical Consulting, Consumer Insights, Nielsen

Asia Pacific has been a leader in e-commerce over the last few years but recent events are leading to a huge shift to digital across many other industries.

We will examine the impact on commerce in the region and analyse the role of digital in this new landscape.

  • How are brands responding to the rapid acceleration towards digital?
  • Whilst sales are being impacted for most industries, this doesn’t necessarily mean brands should stop marketing. Is this now the time for experience driven commerce, as opposed to transaction commerce?
