cleverbridge, a global full-service ecommerce provider for software and cloud companies, announces its 2015 cleverbridge Networking Event (CNE) May 5-7 in San Francisco. The company also announces Chicago-based technology entrepreneur and Sittercity.com founder, Dan Ratner, will be the keynote speaker. Now in its sixth year, the event brings together cleverbridge clients and industry experts from all over the globe to share insights into ecommerce industry trends, collaborate with colleagues and meet new partners.

CNE provides a mix of training sessions, thought leadership seminars and private meetings with first class dining and entertainment. The 2015 CNE agenda was designed to be comprehensive for business yet flexible for fun. Following a kick-off presentation from cleverbridge CEO Christian Blume, keynote speaker Dan Ratner will discuss how he harmonizes hard data with people’s needs in order to build great businesses. After founding Sittercity.com, the first and largest site in the U.S. for matching people with babysitters, petsitters, housesitters and elder care, Ratner was the Director of Development and helped build the technology team for President Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign. Currently, he is the Executive Chairman and co-founder of Public Good Software which is redefining online philanthropy.

“We know the business impact of meeting the right people at the right time—it’s invaluable. So we gather clients, colleagues and industry leaders together to have fun, form relationships, build partnerships and ultimately learn from each other,” said Blume. “By the end of the event, attendees leave with more than they came. Whether opportunities arise or new partnerships form, CNE attendees take home an invaluable networking experience that may influence their future in ecommerce.”

Past CNE attendees have experienced great business value from the event. “cleverbridge does a great job of creating an intimate setting where people can network and share ideas. There are competitors here, there are non-clients here, there are industry experts here — I think that is what is fantastic about this event,” said Michael Schramm, ecommerce strategist. O&O Software managing director, Jim Harrison, adds, “We take away invaluable information and business deals that tangibly support and increase revenue in our service to our customers. The food and drink is a nice bonus.”
