Supply Chain: The Missing Link to Growth - Led by Mike O’Donnell, Claudia Johnson & Candice Beitler  (Flywheel Digital)Supply chain is a commonly neglected “topic” in ecommerce and often one of the areas least resourced or prioritized internally until it becomes a risk or barrier to growth and the bottom line.

Learn some of the strategies and tactics top brands are leveraging to turn their ecommerce supply chain into a major growth engine. 7.

Brand Protection: Best-In-Class Strategies to Control Your Sales Online to Maximize Profit - Led by Whitney Gibson (Vorys)Despite its growth and potential, the Amazon marketplace can expose all the leaks in a brand’s value chain – price   matching, unauthorized 3P sellers, product diversion and grey market sales – resulting in major channel conflicts, unprofitability for both brand and retail and overall brand erosion.  Learn the key strategies, foundational policies and enforcement techniques recommended to remove unauthorized sellers, stop channel conflict and end brand erosion. 9. Something Old, Something New: Best-In-Class New Product Launches & SKU Transitions - Led by Brooke Ware, Danny Hoffman & Jessica Mattson (Flywheel Digital)Brands must continuously bring new innovations and renovations to market; however, launching new products and transitioning SKUs successfully on Amazon is quite complex.
