TheIndustry.fashion Retail Reset: Fashion leaders and forecasters join to debate the future of the industry
According to global trend authority The Future Laboratory, we are now bang in the middle of 'The Transformative Twenties'. AI, circularity, inclusivity and global macro-economic disruption have changed the way we live and interact for good, and retailers need to adapt and respond fast.
With the pandemic – and subsequent fallout – now behind us, the industry needs to now look to the future and a new era for fashion. Despite the challenges of recent times, the opportunities for prosperous and sustainable growth are still abundant.
This is why TheIndustry.fashion has decided to stage its first ever industry summit, Retail Reset on 22 October at Nobu Hotel, London in partnership with Bleckmann to bring together industry leaders and future thinkers to inspire an audience of 200 fashion industry executives to move forward with clarity and positivity.
We have designed an in-depth content programme to tap into all the key areas that brands and retailers need to consider when developing their future strategies. Topic covered will include experiential physical retail, connected and immersive digital retail, commercially viable circular models, inclusive and inspired talent pools, creative and innovative product design and, of course, applications for AI.
This event is for anyone at a fashion brand or retailer that is involved in shaping and executing the strategy of their business, from executives in fields such as retail, e-commerce, operations, people, marketing, design and buying, to brand founders and C-suite members.
Our aim is to bring this community together to not only listen to and digest the content on the stage, but to debate with each other and forge new and valuable connections. Only through collaboration can we create a brighter future for the whole sector.
Speakers on the day include:
Chris Sanderson, Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer, The Future Laboratory
Shazmeen Malik, Brands Director, ASOS
Peter Ruis, Managing Director, John Lewis
Lucy Yeomans, Founder, DREST
Terry Betts, Chief Buying and Commercial Officer, END.

Barbara Horspool, Founder and CEO, Mamu
Josephine Phillips, Founder and CEO, SoJo

They will hear how best to deploy technology and logistics to drive a circular fashion strategy and find out what it takes to be brand that ASOS and John Lewis want to work with, among many other insights.
The event will take place in the stylish surroundings of Nobu Hotel, London, based just a stone's throw from Europe's busiest shopping street, Oxford Street.
