This week at MarketScale, we dropped in on our newest series, explored how consumer behavior has changed, and filmed the pilot episode of The Next Great American Food Franchise. That’s making me hungry.

Break out the iced coffee, because its the start of summer — and it’s time to scale up.

Did you catch the release of our newest series, The Product Drop?

MarketScale is bringing something long overdue to the B2B marketplace — a live selling show on your own channel that will unite your products with potential B2B buyers. Don’t miss new episodes every Wednesday!

As COVID-19 restrictions ease, will merchants have to step up to entice in-store shoppers back with a more customer-centric experience?

This week on Next Level Commerce by FreedomPay, Visa and Sephora joined a discussion on how consumer behavior has changed post-COVID, how to solve for it, and new technology and innovations that are changing the payments landscape.

What does it take to be recognized in the ASU+GSV Elite 200?

On The Age of Digital Learning, host Kevin Hogan will be sitting down with the movers and shakers on the list as we lead up to the annual ASU+GSV Summit. Hogan will be talking the future of EdTech with some of the biggest names in technology: Deborah Quazzo, Sal Khan and a couple soon-to-be-mentioned A-List celebrities. Who do you want to see on the guest list?

Oracle is best known for its comprehensive and fully integrated stack of cloud applications and platform services, but might soon also be known for their cutting-edge Industries Innovation Lab.

This week on Track.Map.Measure, host Shaun MacIntosh sat down with Vice President Burcin Kaplanoglu to discuss how he realized that construction management in this day and age is all about one thing – harnessing the data.

The MarketScale Energy Roundtable is back and, this time, we are exploring the opportunities and challenges currently presented in our energy.

The panel will include:

Bill Lantz, JGL

Craig Kaiser, LandGate

Richa Yadav, Buro Happold

Make sure to follow along for future roundtables. On Monday, June 14th, we will be diving into how the role of QSR franchises changes in mixed-use venues.

I’ll be back next Monday for The Weekly Scale but, until then, if you know of a story that you want us to cover, let us know with the hashtag B2BNeverSleeps.
