The common thread that pulls through e-commerce stories around the world is the focus on connectivity, security, community, and ultimately trust. And trust in e-commerce is not inevitable. Policymakers, business leaders, and technologists around the world have made intentional decisions to make the e-commerce infrastructure trustworthy. E-commerce is enabled by the coming together of payments, logistics, and communications systems, a massive project undertaken by both private and public sector actors. 

You’ll hear from leaders of some of the largest e-commerce companies: Susan Segal (Board member of Mercado Libre), Kalyan Krishnamurthy (CEO of Flipkart), Pierre Poignant (CEO of Lazada), Sacha Poignonnec (CEO, Jumia), Tan Tin Wee (Chief Executive of Singapore's National Supercomputing Centre; Internet Hall of Fame 2012), Geoff Huston (Chief Scientist at the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre, Australia; Internet Hall of Fame 2012), and Chen Long (Former Chief Streategy Officer of Ant Financial; Director of Luohan Academy at Alibaba Group).
