Background


On September 14, 2021 the 2-day conference took place, and some key take-aways to take note of such as Mark Cuban's quote: “It doesn’t matter how many times you fail. You only have to be right once and then everyone can tell you that you are an overnight success.” While most store owners work hard on their online stores, their marketing, their customer expectations and satisfaction, logistics and supply issues. All the dynamics and efforts in eCommerce have been to drive Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented reality (AR), and Virtual Reality (VR) in the shopping experience. A lot of this effort is being placed in Software As A Service (SAAS) platforms, and BigCommerce being an Open SAAS platform has been leading the charge.


How Artificial Intelligence (AI) Can help sell More


Mary Ellen Coe and Bill ready from Google were present to tell the audience about AI and how it can help your sales. Their keynote session was presented on September 15th, 2021. Discussion of the digital shopping experience from Google Ads, Social Media and the role of data, analytics, and how digital trends helps curate the right products, messaging, and the use of your SAAS Applications.
