All,
As we get closer to the second eBay: On Location event – this weekend in Dallas – I wanted to share some behind the scenes conversations I had at the previous event in Atlanta. I spent a few minutes with Mitch Gross, head of product strategy/marketing for eBay AdCommerce. I also had him fill-out the eBay Ink backgrounder form. Here is 5 Minutes With… Mitch Gross.

Mitch won’t be able to attend the Dallas event but his team will be there so please stop by and ask them questions / find out more.

Cheers,
RBH
