175 Expert Speakers

IRCE 2010 features an impressive roster of 175 e-retailing professionals, each of whom have been chosen by Internet Retailer's editorial team based solely on their expertise on the subject they are asked to address, and not based any sponsorship or other commercial consideration. That assures that presentations provide actionable e-commerce information instead of sales pitches. During the four days of the conference, our experts will speak on every vital aspect of e-commerce strategy, technology, marketing and operations. Some higher-level presentations are offered in general sessions, but most are organized in five conference tracks and workshops, allowing attendees to tailor their own conference experience around their specific information needs. All sessions are digitally recorded and after the show attendees are provided online access to all presentation slides and speaker audio. See All IRCE Speakers | See IRCE Agenda
