What is MES 2020?
The 2020 Midwest Ecommerce Summit is an online seminar series for midwestern manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. This series of 3 weekly web events welcomes experts in online retail, web technology, digital marketing and customer experience to share their innovations in both B2C and B2B ecommerce. By hearing stories of success with the latest breakthroughs in ecommerce, sellers will learn valuable tools, tactics and strategies for generating more revenue online.
What is MES 2020 about?
When we first started planning this event back in 2019, we envisioned a one-day, in-person event showcasing how all the pieces of ecommerce technology click together to create a complete and integrated system. Then along came COVID-19, and we had to pivot like every other business on the planet. We moved it online since in-person events are off the table for the foreseeable future. We took the opportunity to retool our focus and build an agenda around what sellers really need to know at this unique moment in time.
Instead of focusing on the technology itself, we decided to instead focus our events on sharing strategies and insightful information that will help you be successful with your solutions as we head through and out of COVID-19, into the holiday season, and beyond into 2021.
Here are the six essential topics we’ll be covering at Midwest Ecommerce 2020:
- Accelerating Ecommerce in a COVID Era: What We’ve Learned & What It Means for the Future
- Planning Your Ecommerce Strategy
- Future Proofing Your Ecommerce Business: Considerations for Choosing the Right Platform
- Optimizing the Back Office and Ecommerce Order Management
- Integrating Shipping and Payment Solutions
- Evolving Your Ecommerce Marketing Strategy
