100s of shipping's e-commerce-a-rati will gather in May; 59° 56' N will cover it
59° 56' N is proud and excited to announce that it is an official media sponsor of ShipServ's Connect10 conference in Copenhagen this May. This shipping e-commerce summit will bring together hundreds of buyers and sellers in the ShipServ trading space to explore how this platform can transform shipping business. 59° 56' N continues its support and coverage of shipping's move into the digital space, through innovative channels like ShipServ.
ShipServ's e-commerce portal is having a transformative effect on the nature of shipping business, with greater efficiency, transparency and speed as upshots; I've covered this at length here, here and here. This movement is only beginning, however, and I'm eager to explore the phenomenon further and see how both practitioners and experts on the topic see it developing.
ShipServ's John Watton comments on the media sponsorship: "We're delighted to have 5956 onboard as a media partner for Connect10. There's a lot of synergies between ourselves and 5956. We're all about using the Internet to master the supply of and demand for ship supplies. 5956 was an obvious choice, given its focus on sales, PR, innovation and media in the Internet space."
59° 56' N will begin its coverage of shipping's e-commerce summit right away, starting with establishment of a daughter site exclusively covering Connect10: 5956n.typepad.com/connect10. Here you'll find short, exclusive Q&A's with Connect10 speakers, profiles of attending companies and a ten-day countdown to the event. During Connect10, this blog (and a parallel YouTube channel) shall feature exclusive video interviews of presenters and attendees. At 59° 56' N, meanwhile, a series of articles will delve deeper into the combination of shipping and e-commerce.
