Welcome to this exclusive Meet the Boss event in partnership with Shopify Plus.

Ecommerce growth has skyrocketed in recent years, and this trend is only going to continue. But, the economic climate in 2023 is already shifting and businesses and consumers are needing to adapt on the fly.

While some companies have taken steps to plan for recession, 41% have no strategy prepared at all according to a recent study by global strategy consultancy Simon-Kucher & Partners.

So how do you stay ahead of the game - and inflation? In this intimate VIP dinner, we'll equip you with data and insights to help you navigate the economic downturn and make informed decisions on budget allocation.

From the entire team at Meet the Boss and Shopify Plus, we look forward to starting and facilitating the conversation to stay on course, every course.

Bon appetit!
