Each will touch on the conference’s theme, “‘e’ is the Business: Revolutionizing the Value Chain.”

“E-commerce and the explosion of information technology have obliged corporate decision makers to rethink the way they and their firms do business,” said Dan Dalton, dean of the Kelley School of Business. “In addition to altering relationships with suppliers, customers, consumers and investors, the trend toward E-commerce is significantly impacting American corporate culture.”

Schedule

Registration and networking will begin at 8 a.m., followed by a 9 a.m. presentation by Taurel, a 10:45 a.m. presentation by Sanderson and a luncheon presentation by Summers. All conference activities will be at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis.
