Amazon will hold a virtual conference next month focusing on tips that SMBs can use to better sell their goods on the e-commerce operators marketplace.
This new conference comes as Amazon faces pressure over its marketplace operations and tries to turn on the charm to further promote that particular part of its business.
Given the current pandemic environment, the event is entirely virtual and free to attend, Amazon said. Participants will hear from Amazon, connect with peers, and learn proven techniques and best practices to apply as they grow their businesses in the digital economy. Experts will also provide strategies on ways to adapt to the variability of the current climate.
