MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Digital River, Inc., a leading global provider of Commerce-as-a-Service solutions, announced that it will be speaking at Channel IQ’s Compass 2016 conference (http://channeliq.com/compass). During the event, taking place Sept. 7-8, 2016, in the Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile, Digital River vice president of strategy and innovation, James Gagliardi, will present a session, titled “The Commerce of Things Gold Rush: Strategizing and Monetizing for Profits.”
“The fascinating and lucrative side of the Internet of Things – which we refer to as the Commerce of Things, is heralding in a new era for how people buy and consume goods and services, and how companies monetize them,” said Gagliardi. “Smart refrigerators will alert their owners when food has gone bad and automatically reorder items. Running shoes that have been worn past their prime will automatically order a replacement. While these advances in digital commerce are exciting, they are already disrupting the standard business and monetization models used by brands today.”
In his presentation, taking place at 12:05 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 7, Gagliardi will address how manufacturers need to prepare themselves for this contextual ecommerce experience, including:
- Interacting with consumers through connected devices;
- Adopting new monetization strategies for products and services;
- Managing ecommerce and supply chain infrastructures to align with a large volume of singular transactions; and
- Preparing for increasingly complex regulatory considerations where micro transactions will dominate global ecommerce.
In conjunction with the Compass conference, Digital River is hosting a social gathering at the ROOF on theWit, the rooftop lounge at theWit Chicago hotel, on Tuesday, Sept. 6 at 7 p.m. To request an invitation to this private event, please visit: http://driv.ws/e7.
