As the pioneers of tech-enabled child care, we at Sittercity know the need for online safety extends far beyond our platform. That’s why we helped launch the Marketplace Risk Management Conference in 2015, and have been proud sponsors ever since.

This year’s conference will take place on May 21–22 in San Francisco, bringing together leaders across the marketplace economy. Led by industry experts and academics across a wide range of disciplines, participants will share trust and safety strategies that have been tested in real-world use and have the potential to improve all marketplace businesses.

The conference is a must-attend for anyone working in marketplaces. Here’s why:

1. It’s the first and only conference of its kind.

The Marketplace Risk Management Conference is the most comprehensive source of education and information sharing for the marketplace industry. With nearly 50 sessions and over 100 speakers, the content is relevant, useful and actionable. Speakers will cover topics like fraud, data privacy and cybersecurity, compliance, legal and insurance, trust and safety, digital identity and screening, and product and technology innovation. You’ll hear real-world examples and tangible ideas to take back to the office and implement immediately.

2. It’s a great place to network and learn from top marketplace leaders.

Meet some of the brightest minds and most experienced operators in tech, including leaders from Airbnb, Doordash, Lyft, SpotHero, TaskRabbit, Uber and more. Top marketplaces come back year after year, and you’ll see some new faces too. Participants consistently say that this is one of the best places to meet with other marketplace execs, share experiences and learn from each other one-to-one.

3. It’s an opportunity to meet vendors that can help drive your business.

The conference features a variety of vendors that have emerged to service the marketplace economy. From technologies that enhance trust and safety on your platform to companies that offer secure payment processing solutions, you’ll have opportunities to meet with experienced vendors focused on our industry, that can make a huge impact on your business.
