That’s a wrap on the first official day of PartnerBoost’s EVOLVE Summer Summit in Shenzhen. 🎉
With more than 3,000 guests joining us at the InterContinental Hotel and thousands more tuning in via livestream, representatives from Chinese e-commerce brands checked out sponsor booths, attended thought-provoking keynote and panel sessions, and participated in hundreds of brand-partner meetings throughout the day.
Alan Gu, Founder & CEO of PartnerBoost, opened the program, followed by sessions led by top industry experts like Adrian Fagerlund, Co-Founder & CRO of Linkby, and Mark Grimshaw, EVP of Partnerships at Shopnomix. Topics ranged from the future of creator commerce to building consumer trust through premium content, and the role of AI in maximizing operational efficiency.
The day concluded with a networking Happy Hour sponsored by SmartScout, bringing VIP guests together for more conversations and connections.
We cannot wait to see what Day 2 has in store!
