Center for E-Commerce looks at promises, pitfalls

On Oct. 6, SFSU brings together e-commerce experts for the first event of its new Center for E-Commerce.

WHAT: San Francisco State University's College of Business hosts "Putting E-Commerce to Work for Your Business: Promises and Pitfalls," the inaugural event of its newly formed Center for E-Commerce (CEC).

There will also be two panel discussions with participants from e-commerce involved businesses such as Visualize.com, Wells Fargo and Hummer Winblad Venture Partners.
