BizTech@Wharton Conference

Welcome to the 2011 BizTech@Wharton Conference

Mobile wallets. Flash sales. Subscription music. Electronic commerce has taken a number of surprising turns since the first rudimentary eCommerce websites arose in 1998. Today, eCommerce is reshaping how technology can be monetized. Again.

The 2011 BizTech@Wharton Conference will bring together more than 350 prominent industry professionals who represent the very latest thinking on business technology with students who will lead the next generation of eCommerce companies. Spotlighting the Evolving World of eCommerce, this year’s conference will explore current trends redefining what we pay for online and how we do it:

• Alternative currencies such as paying with your smartphone or with credits
• The rapid rise of flash sales and group discounts
• Subscriptions that give wide access but no ownership
• A growing need to instantly share and compare before purchasing

… and much more.
