ECOMsquare Flash Talks November

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 with the rest of us any project, challenge, event, campaign, etc. you have going on. Need feedback, advice, connections, and more? This is your time to let us know how we can support you.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Go to floor 15th and follow signs to the Convergence's office. The main building door doesn't open after 6 PM. If you can make it before 6 PM, we'd truly appreciate it. But if you can't make it before then, please text us for access at 2369954209. Thanks 😊
