    Title:      "Christmas Trading and Beyond: The Future of Ecommerce"
                [http://mediazone.brighttalk.com/event/Emap/634841a683-5783-intro ]
    When:       Tuesday, January 24, 2012
    Time:       2:00 p.m. GMT
 
    Presenters: - Joanna Perry, Special Products Editor, Retail Week
 
                - Rob Feldmann, Chief Executive, BrandAlley U.K.
 
                - Simon Moran, Head of Relationship Management, PayPal U.K.
 
                - Stephen Ashton, Chief Operating Officer, Unipart Consumer
                  Logistics
 
                - W. Sean Ford, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Marketing
                  Officer, Zmags    Why:        According to IMRG
                [http://www.imrg.org/IMRGWebSite/user/pages/homepage.aspx ], the U.K.
                ecommerce market is growing at a rate of 16 percent annually, with
                ecommerce sales accounting for 17 percent of total retail sales in
                the U.K. in 2011. With data like this, it's apparent that mobile,
                social and tablet shopping represent the next trend in ecommerce,
                but a recent Zmags' "Mobile, Social and Tablet Readiness Study" of
                U.K. retailers found that not many retailers are fully up to speed
                when it comes to mobile, tablet and social media. Only a few U.K.
                retailers are poised to take advantage of the ecommerce potential
                of these emerging digital platforms.

    What:       During this free webinar

                - Predictions and early indicators for online trading in 2012;
