2:45PM

In the earlier years of cyber intrusions and attacks, some senior executives and Boards would push responsibility for planning and preparedness to their technology and security teams, with barely a mention of defensive plans and proactive strategies at Executive and Board meetings.  However, with the increased incidence, level of severity, and liability of the companies and boards, to NOT have a C-suite/senior leadership level of strategy and action plan, could be deemed a dereliction of duty.  Hear from a panel that brings perspectives and experience from across the spectrum, to share with you their top recommendations and insights to any firm (or C-suite/leader themselves) in what is critical to include in this proactive strategy.

This panel will discuss the implications of the shift from in-store commerce to online Ecommerce with a focus on both how the consumer is driving this change and how the retail industry is adopting to the change. We will cover such things as:

-Is the hybrid model of exploring online and buying in-store a phase or the future?

-With the percentage of transactions steadily shifting to a mobile device, how do companies adopt to be a destination location?

-Who will be impacted by this change from a financial prospective?

-What implications exist for cross-border retailers and multi-national banks?

    The Financial Innovation and Payments Summit was a cozy and relaxing environment where you able to gain insight through concepts relayed in short panel discussions but could also engage with speakers that caught your attention later; over cocktails or dinner. It allowed for conceptual and thought-provoking panels with detailed conversations. A nice show! Speaker
