This premiere event covers the fastest growing market segment in B2B digital commerce. The event takes place October 17-18 at Chicago’s historic Drake Hotel, a landmark building on the city’s Magnificent Mile.

B2B marketplaces are growing 7.2 times faster than all B2B ecommerce and Digital Commerce 360 projects that U.S. B2B online marketplaces will reach a record $130 billion in sales this year. Now is the most critical time for B2B organizations, including B2B buyers, sellers and marketplace operators, to understand what’s driving growth in B2B in this fast-developing digital channel and formulate a successful strategy.

Digital Commerce 360’s own B2B ecommerce experts Mark Brohan, senior vice president of B2B and market research, and Paul Demery, B2B editor, are building an action-packed agenda for the first-of-its kind EnvisionB2B Marketplace Summit. We’re hand-selecting the industry’s best marketplace thought leaders to help attendees find the right technology solutions and break into—or expand—their online marketplace presence.

This Summit offers a unique, single group setting that encourages deeper discussions and networking with marketplace experts. These experts will have a more intimate platform to address and provide solutions to common challenges and frequently asked questions, such as:

• How do I know if a marketplace strategy is right for my company?

• What should I expect when I enter the marketplace space?

• How do I optimize the tools I currently have to promote growth?

The EnvisionB2B Marketplace Summit is a highly valuable event for B2B professionals of all backgrounds and industries, whether you are in the initial stages of developing a digital marketplace strategy or looking for actionable knowledge to drive growth in an existing B2B ecommerce business.
