Age of Agility: Identifying Opportunity

The WWD x Fashion Futures Global Fashion & Beauty Summit, themed "Age of Agility: Identifying Opportunity" will explore in-depth the key dynamics driving the global beauty, wellness, and fashion industries. From cutting-edge services to shifting consumer behavior, our speakers will address the evolution of business strategy in an ever-changing and fast-moving global landscape.

Topics

NAVIGATING GLOBAL DEMOGRAPHICS

From the first time Gen Alpha consumer to the rise in Gen X spending to the aging Millennials, understanding what is resonating with different demographic cohorts around the world.

WHERE BEAUTY BECOMES LIFESTYLE
