E-commerce builds momentum by the bay (sidebar)

E-commerce, take two

Michigan State University is capitalizing on the success of its June conference with another Packaging for e-commerce direct-to-consumers program scheduled September 26 and 27 in East Lansing, MI. The program runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Packaging World will also sponsor this program.

While the schedule has not yet been finalized, a tentative preview shows the conference will be divided into four sessions, as opposed to three held in San Francisco in June. The four sessions are Overview, Communication, Distribution and Production. A panel discussion follows each session, allowing audience members to question speakers from that particular session. Two sessions will be held each day, divided by a presentation from a special luncheon speaker.
