Recent Meeting Recap:

Industry Electronic Marketplaces: Strategies in the Post-Bubble World

Executives from RubberNetwork, Liaison Technologies, and The UniLink Group met at the Atlanta Electronic Commerce Forum (AECF) to discuss the past, present and future of electronic marketplaces. All agreed that the "build it and they will come" approach used during the dot com era didn't work. Lessons learned included conducting deeper market research, keeping focused, and clearly defining a relevant value proposition.
