Workshop with lessons from a very different digital ecosystem

Digital Innovation from China - What we don't know, but should.

How much do you know about Digital China? 

You certainly follow all the digital trends in our hemisphere. But at the same time, you probably do not really know much about what is going on in Digital China. Maybe because you do not do business in China, maybe for political reasons. Or you just think there is not much going on in general.

  • Hot Retail Trends: What does true omnichannel retail look like?
  • Branding: Why are Chinese brands not focusing on reach and building real relationships with consumers instead?

All this in an exciting new digital workshop format with very small groups, lots of interaction and interesting participants sharing their very personal experiences. It is not a webinar. We promise...
