As more and more business shifts online, organisations are looking for ways to capture more customers, maintain growth, and scale, all without bearing additional costs and complexity. Third-party marketplaces provide a compelling solution and are set to explode in popularity in 2022 as technology developments and market forces align.

Chris Skelton, Chief Revenue Officer @ Marketplacer - will lead a discussion between Andy Kelk (CTO @ Marketplacer) and Joe Cicman (Senior Analyst, Forrester) as they explore:

  • The underlying technology developments that have changed the third-party marketplace landscape, paving the way for broad global adoption
  • The expected market shifts and industries-to-watch in 2022 and beyond.
  • What you need to consider before you add third-party marketplace capabilities to your existing ecommerce stack.

Case Study Profile: You’ll also hear from Justin Hillberg, Managing Director of outdoor lifestyle brand SurfStitch as he walks through how they integrated a third-party marketplace into their ecommerce business in just 40 days, and grew their new vendors by 300% in just 3 months.
