The Rise of UGC for E-Commerce Roundtable Lunch is an intimate, invitation-only, informal group of e-commerce leaders from major consumer brands who meet over an interactive lunch.

The event objectives are to provide an opportunity for participants to learn from a panel of thought leaders as well as each other while providing a unique and valuable networking experience for all.[push h=15]

Our panelists will answer the following questions:

• • What are examples of how e-commerce brands make UGC photos a part of their website, commerce and overall marketing strategy?

  • How do you navigate challenges around rights management, curation, and merchandizing?

  • How do leading brands implement customer photos on their mobile and desktop experiences?
