In a reprise of one of last year's highest rated sessions Kurt Peters, Editor of Internet Retailer, will reveal the results of Internet Retailer's survey ranking America's 500 largest online retailers and published one week before the conference in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide. Kurt will also provide a summary of e-retailing industry statistics—growth in sales, changes in average conversion rates, fastest growing sites and sites with the greatest incremental sales—and discuss what the data can tell us about the future of online retailing. Larry Freed, President of customer satisfaction monitoring company ForeSee Results, will report on the second edition of ForeSee's popular Browser Satisfaction Index of the Top 40. And Matt Poepsel, Vice President and General Manager of Gomez Inc., will report results of a new exclusive study rating the performance level of the largest 100 e-retail sites on the Internet Retailer list based on their availability, page download time, ability to complete a transaction and more.
