Distribution, wholesale and manufacturing executives from across Europe will converge at the European Game Plan B2B E-Commerce Forum in Berlin at the end of October.
Hybris, an SAP company and the world’s fastest-growing commerce platform provider, has announced the full schedule and speaker line-up for the event being held on October 28-29, 2013.
Game Plan is an open forum where manufacturing, wholesaling and distribution executives from across Europe will gain insights from thought leaders and industry peers about their experiences in developing e-commerce strategies for customer demands.
Companies presenting include leading European B2B businesses such as Alfa Laval, Aramark, Demag Cranes AG, Elektro Material and Ingram Micro Mobility.
One of the highlights of the event will be the exclusive presentation of market researcher Forrester’s latest research into B2B e-commerce in the European and global markets, called How eCommerce Is Transforming B2B Commerce.
The research will show how e-commerce is fundamentally changing B2B commerce in the same way it has B2C commerce, more specifically:
Brian Walker, (pictured above, right) Senior Vice President, Strategy, at Hybris, said: “Hybris research has shown that while 88 percent of B2B purchasers would prefer to shop via e-commerce, most manufacturers, distributors and other B2B suppliers still have very limited or non-existent e-commerce websites.
“This comprehensive Forrester study will address the challenges B2B suppliers have faced with developing e-commerce strategies and help take their businesses to the next level and meet customer expectations.”
The line-up of speakers at the event includes:
Additional speakers include representatives from leading industry players such as Arvato Systems, Open Text, Accenture Interactive and also Mark Jeffries, an internationally renowned Communications Consultant.
Walker added: “Game Plan is the first and only event of its kind where wholesalers, manufacturers, distributors and industry thought leaders in Europe have the opportunity to collaborate and discuss the impact e-commerce will have on their business model, customer service strategy, operational processes and organizational structure.
“After two days of keynote addresses, expert panels and networking, the attendees will leave the forum with effective strategies in hand to capitalize on the massive impact e-commerce will have on the B2B sector.”
The Game Plan B2B E-Commerce Forum also offers the opportunity for B2B manufacturers, distributors and other industries to network and exchange ideas about current and upcoming e-commerce trends. Hybris, along with founding partners Accenture Interactive, Arvato Systems, OpenText and SAP, has founded this global series of forums for wholesalers, manufacturers, distributors and other B2B suppliers.
