Founders, leaders and operators are invited to join this crash course on risk management designed specifically for marketplace and digital platforms. During this Boot Camp, you will be taken through 10 modules that will help you to identify and mitigate unnecessary risks that are too often overlooked and under appreciated. There's no theory - just useful, actionable information from experts. Attendees will walk away with essential information, along with a 'checklist' to take back and audit their website, mobile app, as well as various policies and processes. Separate registration is required and only open to marketplace and digital platform founders, leaders and operators who are registered for the conference.

Join fellow attendees at the Welcome Reception as we kick off the start of the 2024 Marketplace Risk Management Conference, hosted at Convene. As the sun descends over the city skyline, we extend a warm invitation to join us at the Welcome Reception — a laid back networking reception with old friends and new. This first event will unite global thought leaders, innovators, operators and experts, all driven by a shared goal to explore, innovate, and shape the future of marketplaces and digital platforms.

Be sure to check in early to connect and network with other attendees over breakfast!

How can modern digital marketplaces mitigate the promotion of false and misleading information without affecting the volume and quality of user-generated content? What if we could reduce the flow of misinformation with no censorship and no central authority judging truth? We present a novel mechanism designed to create a meta-layer of platform governance on existing platforms that affords providers the ability to elevate credible claims in an information-dense online ecosystem. Content moderation is economically self-sustaining. Our solution, informed by a decade of theory and practice in building digital platforms, has shown promising results in both, large online survey experiments, and interactive online marketplace experiments, providing evidence of its efficacy among nearly four thousand responses from surveyed users. This solution is platform-agnostic, significantly limits the production of misleading and false claims, and increases the likelihood of sharing credible information in line with regulatory compliance. This talk will discuss the causes of online harms and a market mechanism to address them, in particular, the fake news challenges on social media, advertising, and e-commerce markets. For the modern digital marketplace, harms are better cognized as decision errors and externalities producing "market failures." We demonstrate how our introduction of truth warrants corrects market failures by affording users the ability to make financially-backed credible claims, increasing their reach, without imposing constraints on free speech. Our online experiments with nearly 4,000 responses from surveyed users in a social media setting, and an interactive e-commerce marketplace simulations, showcase that this successfully reduces misleading claims, and provides a self-regulating, financially beneficial intervention for digital platforms.
