Social Commerce Summit:
Where “Social” meets “Results.”

Hosted by Bazaarvoice and key partners

The 2008 Social Commerce Summit was a huge success. Here is where you’ll get access to some of the great thoughts shared by our presenters.

Let’s not forget the language of business is profit and loss. Marketing strategy survives on its ability to show measurable impact to the revenue, margin, and costs. Programs with true impact survive. Those that don’t are “destructive creativity.”

Today there’s no denying that power has shifted to the consumer. You’ve heard this message  amplified through books, blogs, articles, and events. “User-generated content,” “word of mouth,” “Web 2.0,” and “social networking.”  Ok, you get it. However, many exciting marketing tactics classified under these terms don’t always show measureable impact to the P&L. So we decided to pull together a group of 200 retailing and manufacturing executives -- authors, researchers, designers and other thought leaders – to separate hype from ROI, once and for all. This is the “get down to brass tacks” learning event. We’re sharing how to turn customer conversations into measurable results. We’re helping you build your social commerce strategy.

Here what others have to say

“Suffice it to say, you and your team put on a great event. Lots of excellent speakers and content, and we definitely walked away with some great tactical ideas that we can leverage to crank our ratings and reviews program up to 11!
It's one thing to hear the industry research on the power of peer recommendations, or to read case studies about Bazaarvoice clients like Petco that have done really well in this space, but it's another experience altogether to engage directly with fellow peers who live every day on the front lines of a radically changing customer dynamic and have great stories to share.
To anyone considering attending this in the future, think of it less as another standard industry conference and more of a social commerce boot camp with great networking opportunities…highly recommended!”

“The Social Commerce Summit was one of the best conferences I have attended. It really made me think differently about the way we do business and I left with many opportunities to improve. The presenters were fabulous (Ze Frank, Kelley Mooney, etc) and it was the perfect length of time. I also really appreciate your light hearted approach, it made the whole event that much more enjoyable. I will definitely attend next year and will bring a few of my colleagues as well. Great job! ”

“Very informative, great insight on what other retailers are doing and their challenges. Good networking and lots of fun.”

“Informative staff is readily accessible. It was fun! Thanks for the Southern hospitality!”

“Inspirational event. Gave me a sense of invigoration around ratings/reviews and social shopping.”

“Terrific content. Nice balance between conceptual and tactical/practical.”
