The Uber Marketplace Meetup series dives into how we build global-scale on-demand marketplaces. You can think of Ubers Marketplace team as the economic brain of Uber, one of the worlds largest technology platforms. We solve some of the hardest technical problems to build a global, on-demand logistics network. Our challenges include pricing, incentives, dispatch, maintaining an always-on platform, & more.

Ubers mission is to make transportation as reliable as running water, everywhere, for everyone. Reliability is at the heart of everything we do. Join us to hear more about some of the foundational technologies that make Uber reliable as well as the challenges ahead of us.

Please be sure to RSVP. We'll provide an Uber promo code closer to the event date for guests on the RSVP list to get to & from the event.
