It will be moderated by Adam Wu and  will take place on Tuesday, June 2nd at 11:00 GST.

A number of experts will share their opinion and experience on how to overcome the current crisis by identifying new buying patterns, new demand streams and innovative ways of reaching customers as well as of course enhancing existing partnerships.
