## Background of Co-sponsorship
Currently, in the EC industry, the difficulty of EC operations is increasing year by year due to the diversification of channels and the rapid evolution of AI. However, there are still not many opportunities to systematically learn the latest strategies of each platform or to know examples of success and failure.
We felt that this conference was a place that directly addresses such challenges. We decided to co-sponsor this event out of empathy for the content, which offers on-the-ground knowledge from platform strategies to practical know-how all at once, and a desire to contribute to the overall improvement of the EC industry.
## Session Overview on the Day
Six panel discussions will be held. All will proceed in a format that deepens discussions by incorporating real-time questions from participants.
