    Also, Pinterest has made it their mission to bring positivity back to social media. CEO Bill Ready stated, “I don’t think social media set out to be the new big tobacco,”  and really put an emphasis that they are making it a point to set an example for positive well-being. 

  2. Need a way to combat returns? Verishop offers a "no return" discount to shoppers during the checkout process, and 20% of the transactions are utilizing it, minimizing the costs that are associated with returns and access inventory. 

  3. Shoppable Commerce is all about testing, learning and iterating - then repeat.


    Andrea Moore, Chief Digital Officer of NEST New York (pictured second from the left) states "you don't have to be perfect, just get out there and start trying!"

  4. Want to leverage AI to better enable your business? Panera and Nordstrom took the stage, driving home that there's a perfect balance - and you must have all three to be successful: Technology + People + Process.
