Dear Members

ZDM is in full support of the first entirely international gathering of Global Leaders in e-commerce. The Global e-Commerce Summit, with a full programme of 20 speakers from across the globe, will take place in Amsterdam on the 28th and 29th of October 2008. I would like to recommend you to attend this summit.

E-commerce (online selling) is one of the fastest growing industries in the world simply because the internet means you're global from the start. If that fact is true then why do so few online businesses have a truly global reach and lack in significant global brand value?

The Global e-commerce Summit, an initiative of Shop.org (USA) and EMOTA (Europe) aims to answer these questions to apply in your own business practice. Hear first hand from the guru’s of the online retail industry as they share their successes and failures in business strategies and creative business models. It is their distinct vision that has helped them build successful global companies.
By presenting specific case studies from global leaders, the summit will examine factors such as legislation, cultural differences and consumer trends.

Who will attend
• 400+ delegates consisting of CEO’s and other board members from Europe, USA and Asia
• Store-based retailers, catalogue-based retailers and online-only retailers

Why should you attend
• Learn from global leaders
• Network and share ideas with neighbouring European countries
• Discover the best methods of positioning your business in a global market

Please take a look at the programme and you see why you should attend.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Kind regards,

Boštjan Zrimšek
