TheIndustry.fashion LIVE: Opportunities and efficiencies for 2025 and beyond…

There’s no doubt fashion is facing headwinds as we move into the new financial year; increased costs, subdued demand and diminished consumer confidence all present challenges. But fashion is nothing if not resilient and creative and, more than any other market, adept at reinvention.

We’re kicking off the new financial year with a refreshed format for TheIndustry.fashion LIVE event on 4th March at The Hoxton, Holborn, to inspire and support brands and retailers by identifying opportunities for growth and efficiencies in 2025 and beyond, and offering practical advice on how to act on them.

The day will start at 09:30 with coffee and a light breakfast, followed by insightful presentations and panel discussions, as well as an interactive breakout session to enable attendees to share ideas and inspiration with their peers and leading experts in the market. You’ll also enjoy high-level networking during lunch and coffee breaks and the day will end at 15:15
