I've said it before and I'll say it again: EcommerceFuel Live is my absolute favorite ecommerce event in the world. From power-packed presentations and interesting entrepreneur stories, to a personal vow to abstain from alcohol, this year's ECF Live did not disappoint. A roster of brilliant speakers ECF Live boasted a strong list of speakers this year and the following are my top 3: The Epic Battle Between Amazon, Walmart, and Brands - Jason Goldberg of retailgeek.com I consider this to be the star of the conference because this topic is very timely with Amazon quickly rising and Walmart falling behind. Jason talked about how Walmart is scared of following the footsteps of Sears and what they're doing to avoid that. My Company, Myself: Identity and the Entrepreneurship Journey - Dr. Sherry Walling of Zen Founder Dr. Sherry has been a guest on here before, and the episode I did with her is probably one of the best in the EcomCrew Podcast. Her ECF Live presentation discussed an issue that's not unique but highly pronounced--and destructive--in entrepreneurs, and that is tying one's identity with one's business. Shipping - Craig Gentry I found this talk interesting not mainly because of the topic, but because of the speaker. Craig was the type of reserved guy who I had to force to talk during the speakers' dinner, but when he got on stage the next day for his presentation, he was this totally different person. He was able to captivate the audience while showing them graphs and tips on how to not lose money on shipping.
