OUR HISTORY
Origins and Growth: The Beginning of Marketplace Risk
2015
Marketplace Risk began as an informal working group of founders, executives, and operators from various marketplaces and digital platforms who came together to explore best practices and to learn how to better identify and mitigate risks. Over time, the group grew to include a variety of verticals, as well as the solution providers and vendors they rely on. In 2015, the working group launched the first, and the world’s largest, conference focused on trust and safety, risk management, regulatory compliance, legal strategy, and technology innovation specifically designed for marketplaces and digital platforms: the Marketplace Risk Management Conference in San Francisco, California, USA.
