What You'll Learn

At eTail, we are obsessed with ensuring we are discussing your top challenges to find results to bring back to your business. Some of the key topics covered at eTail West 2018 included:

The past 18 months have been busy across the ecommerce landscape, and at Walmart ecommerce. In this session with the Fashion leadership team, we’ll discuss their recent moves to elevate the Fashion experience across Walmart.com and Jet.com within the context of a rapidly changing retail, technology, and customer landscape.

Sarah Veit Wallis, VP/GM Lifestyle, Walmart

Preston Bottomy, GM, Menswear, Accessories and Prestige Beauty, Jet.com/Walmart.com

Customers have limited time and unlimited choices when it comes to discovering new products. As a result, they are gravitating toward experiences that are highly curated and personalized with brands they trust. In this session, you’ll learn how Gap is using data in new ways to deliver more informed decisions and drive the Gap brand global online business into the future.

John Statford, SVP Gap Global Online, Gap Inc./ Gap

Chris Chapo, VP Customer Data and Analytics, Gap Inc/Gap

While Costco may be membership based, it strives to drive personalization initiatives to deliver revenue through relevance. Robb Walters presents methods for AI and ML so you, too, can catch the buzz for these top practices:

Cleaning unusable data to make connections for your AI/ML strategies
Measuring the right customer KPIs
Turning powerful data into action for top AI practices
Using robust first party data to understand where the customer is—and where in the purchase funnel to push accurate content

Robb Walters, Head of Product & Customer Experience, Costco Wholesale

We’ve heard all of the buzz words (machine learning, big data, AI…), and many of us are enthusiastically embracing the data revolution. It can be dizzying to know where to start, or how to drive actionable, let alone profitable, insights. The folks sitting on the biggest treasure troves of data are the same folks who are also the key media partners for modern advertisers. Who knows more about you than Facebook & Google? In this session we will explore how modern advertisers can make the most of their relationships with today’s media giants, and mix in their own first party data for-the-win.
