LONDON, April 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Women's Wear Daily (WWD), the leading source of news and insights for the fashion, retail and beauty industries, will host its debut Retail 20/20 Forum on April 25. Speakers include senior executives from Tumi, Moda Operandi, MatchesFashion.com and more. The event draws top fashion and retail executives from The United Kingdom, greater Europe and beyond.
To highlight the convergence of physical and digital retail, WWD has expanded the footprint of its one-day Retail 20/20 Forum Series in London. The change from WWD's Digital Forum: London, which has been ongoing for the past four years, reflects how brand and retail executives are revaluating their strategies. WWD Retail 20/20 – The New Store Experience will explore new ways to attract and engage consumers and inspire their loyalty across channels while highlighting innovations and transformative shopping experiences.
The day's topics will include:
- The Store of the Future: From beacons to tablets to virtual reality, retailers are utilizing technology to enhance the in-store experience.
- Big Data: Retailers are deploying data analytics, a tool of digital marketers, to maximize brick-and-mortar opportunities.
- Luxury Reset: Luxury brands and retailers are creating exclusive retail enclaves for one-of-a-kind environments, creating loyalty and demand for prestige consumers.
- Formats & Function: More retailers and brands are experimenting with new formats - from pop-ups to in-store events - to breathe new life in traditional retail environments.
"We are excited to debut our forum in London at such a pivotal time for global fashion and retail," said Miles Socha, editor in chief of WWD. "Leveraging both the digital and in-store experience is crucial to help today's retailers go further."
Senior executives from MatchesFashion.com, Tumi, Lush, Moda Operandi, Levi Strauss & Co., Mon Purse, Curalate, Ganni, and The Future Laboratory complete this year's speaker line-up.
