Harnessing the Disruption: Succeeding at Digital Commerce in a Recession Economy
December 6th, 2022 | 8:30 am – 5 pm EST | Washington, DC & Via Zoom
Several major disruptions are underway, and digital commerce could be deeply changed in 2023. The question for industry leaders is, “How do we thrive during a time of disruption?”
The “disruption conversation” among DCA members arises from two important and ongoing shifts:
Technological Disruption
Could a technology iceberg send your business model to the bottom of the Atlantic?
Are passwords really heading out – and what will passkeys mean for how consumers shop on their phones? How will technologies evolve around consumer ownership of data? Will blockchain shift power to creators and consumers, or just to blockchain companies? Will utility NFTs disrupt unsuspecting businesses?
Economic Disruption
Is your business recession-resistant and adaptive to new consumer spending patterns?
Will ten percent inflation continue? Consumer spending, BNPL businesses and much else hang in the balance. Will the labor market stay crazy? Will supply chains stay broken? Will student loan borrowers re-start payments – after three years off?
