eCommerce Worldwide and IMRG will bring together experts from the following areas to give their view on what effect Brexit could have:
How will the legal framework change?
How will shipping internationally change?
How will taking cross-border payments be affected?
What does it mean for VAT and tax arrangements?
We are running this forum to explore what some of the key short-term and long-term issues will be, and help focus eCommerce Worldwide and IMRGs efforts in sourcing the most relevant information over the coming months. (check out the results of the IMRG Brexit Survey and a wide range of articles via eCommerce Worldwide)
This forum will run over one morning and include a networking lunch. Register interest today and join the eCommerce Worldwide and IMRG Brexit mailing list for up-to-date information and details of future events.

This event is not open to suppliers but will form the basis for a series of ongoing events between eCommerce Worldwide and IMRG.
*An online retailer would be a B2C operation selling products or services, via a website with transactions completed fully, including payment, via any interactive channel, from any location. These operations may have a social media presence, store, or be linked via a marketplace but would operate primarily via their own domain and not via a marketplace alone. Unfortunately 3rd party agencies who have retailers as clients are not classed as retailers themselves but would be a solution provider.
**Attendees registering under incorrect ticket types will be reviewed and cancelled with access to the event refused.
