Opportunities in Social Commerce:  The rise of Facebook, Groupon, and flash sale sites such as Gilt have created significant new opportunities for brands and retailers to sell products in more compelling and differentiated ways.  This session will focus on how leading companies are using "social" to drive sales.

N.B.. Since guests need an escort to room, please be patience if you arrive after the meeting begins. Thank you.
