Movers and shakers in the world's fastest growing ecommerce market will converge in Singapore at the iRetail World Asia 2013 Conference, hosted by Clariden Global, from 21 - 24 October 2013 at the Four Seasons Hotel.

"Asia is becoming increasingly attractive to businesses, especially to ecommerce firms that thrive on global and scalable business models," wrote Professor Sunil Gupta and Ms Tanya Bijlani from the Harvard Business School in a recent article for Asia Business Insights.

But the road to ecommerce success is fraught with challenges in strategy and execution. "Most global ecommerce players like Amazon, eBay and Expedia have yet to find in Asia the kind of success that they have enjoyed in their home markets," they added.

iRetail World Asia 2013 is designed to address the roadblocks that hinder consumer-facing companies from seeing their ecommerce revenue streams take off and to help companies looking to do ecommerce in Asia forge strong strategies going forward. The 4-day event consists of a 2-day ecommerce digital marketing Main Conference, a 1-day ecommerce supply chain conference and two specially customized pre-conference workshops addressing pressing needs in ecommerce payment and logistics.

Main highlights from the 2-day iRetail World Asia Main Conference (22 - 23 Oct 2013) include:

• Sustainable market expansion plans

• Engaging user experiences

• Integrated omnichannel content strategies

• Maximizing the value of data and analytics

Main highlights from iRetail Supply Chain Asia 2013 (24 Oct 2013) include:

• Business integration of customer focused ecommerce supply chain strategies

• Evolving requirements for ecommerce supply chains

• Overcoming ecommerce supply chain challenges across different Asian jurisdictions

• Creating more efficient, cost effective and flexible supply chains through omnichannel fulfillment
