From Interactive TV to Digital Ecosystems: How Retailers Can Ride the Wave of E-commerce Evolution

About the panel discussion

The first interactive TV purchase was made on January 19, 2001. At that time, remote selling was considered exotic. Fast forward twenty years, and online e-commerce has become the norm, with every retailer embracing it in its own way.

In 2023, e-commerce solutions help businesses:

  • Anticipate customer needs.
  • Promote customer loyalty.
  • Reduce returns and cancelations.
  • Foster brand recognition.

In this panel discussion, international e-commerce experts share their thoughts on how technology has changed the retail landscape in the past two decades and what solutions to embrace now to become a game changer in the industry.
