For many of us e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and Lazada have become the main way we do shopping. The emergence of new technologies such as augmented reality (AR) and wearable tech could bring radical changes to the industry. What kind of impact can we expect and how will e-commerce and traditional brick-and-mortar retailers be affected? What kind of opportunities will these technologies create?

SPECTRUM Global’s series of events features Andrew Tan, the Co-Founder of atomi, ACTUS hause and atomi Consulting, a curator of a range of sophisticated luxury designs and products. Andrew will use the case study of buying furniture as an example of how AR could provide an entirely new shopping experience.

Join us for breakfast and learn more about the future of e-commerce and retail through a real-world case study. We hope to see you there!
