Established ePlatforms:
Venturing in a Connected World
Saturday, January 18, 2005
With the missteps of its dotcom infancy behind, e-commerce
is now a serious, fast growing part of business life. Amazon,
eBay, Google and others have proved the effectiveness of their
original goals - even setting performance standards that old
line IT systems rarely have met. As these companies mature,
their reach is expanding well beyond initial business models
to create -- indeed nurture -- platforms and environments
for entrepreneurs big and small. Thus, beyond eBay's strong
3rd party support program (which has spawned a huge developer
community), it has catalyzed independent ventures including
a brick-and-mortar network of auction agents.
Led by pioneer Bill Gross's keynote, today's speakers and
panelists will contribute their experience, insight and vision
about present and future opportunities arising from the electronic
commerce arena of our ubiquitous, online, high bandwidth world.
