So what will you get from GetGlobal's Annual Summit?
This week we will lay out some of the issues we'll be getting into, and the people who will be sharing insights on how to navigate them.
The major themes of this year's summit are...
E-commerce is in the middle of a revolution and most e-commerce companies in a wide range of categories learned valuable lessons through the pandemic and have now operationalized them. What changed? What's here to stay? How can you stay ahead? More below...
Sustainability and ESG are first-order priorities for top-line growth (or survival) and bottom-line defense now — and winners and losers will be decided in the coming years by what they've done or are doing now.
Global trends and the signs of what's to come in 2022 are in the headlines... But what to do about them for your company and role? That's the question. (And we've got some pretty good answers.)
Supply chain issues are hitting everyone in one way or another — either because of direct effects on your company's operations and strategies, or because of inflation and other indirect effects. And many roles that have no formal relationship to supply chains — marketing, comms, talent acquisition, finance, innovation or transformation — are now seeing that the world of supply chains is now part of their world too.
E-Commerce is in the Middle of a Revolution
Most e-commerce companies in every category learned valuable lessons through the pandemic and have now operationalized them — and many did so well that they are looking into new vistas they didn't expect to see for another 2-3 years or more...
What did they learn? And what's working for them and what's not?
What is here to stay? And what was just temporary?
What is the current state of domestic e-commerce and what can we expect to see in 2022?
Who should they be looking to hire, and how and where will they find them?
And with the boost from digital growth, what can they do with that momentum (and cash), and how will they need to change for their new opportunities?

And truthfully, almost all of our speakers will have points relevant to e-commerce, so we suggest you tune in for all of it.
These key updates will also be discussed in detail:
China's e-commerce mega-event, Singles Day, made headlines again. What's new that business leaders should be watching? And what on earth is going on in the China market that's giving the smart money anxiety (even if they're doing well now)?
Live-shopping is starting to rumble here in the US and elsewhere in ways that look a lot like they did in China in the early days. We have one of the godfathers of live-shopping who led the development from the get-go and grew the technologies telling us what he saw there from the inside, what is happening here now, and what is likely to happen here in the coming months and years.
Asia has changed in ways both subtle and obvious while travel restrictions have impeded movement. The innovation landscape, intra-Asian connectivity in a variety of important areas, and Asia's relevance in the worldwide red-hot hunt for talent — all would look and feel almost unrecognizable to what they were just two years ago.
And also...
Companies aren't talking about it much publicly, but executives are lamenting how much more revenue they'd be making without the supply chain crunch. This and many other reasons over the past 3-5 years are causing urgency in redesigning supply chains with resilience and ESG concerns in mind. How should leaders think about this? We'll discuss the options.
And with surging costs, many are having profits eroded by trying to manage the effects on pricing and irritated consumers. How long will this last? We'll find out...
