On May 16, the second Fashion Tech Day will be held, the most important event for fashion market players who are actively developing omnichannel strategies and understand that digital transformation is not just a fashion trend of the time, but a reality that needs to be met.
The beginning of Fashion Tech Day was laid in 2018 by a team of organizers from France, Switzerland and Russia: by Adrian Henn, Editor-in-Chief of EWDN; Florence Labati, leading the course on business process management in the fashion industry at Franklin University Switzerland with more than 20 years of experience management of IT and digital divisions of European fashion brands;Konstantin Sinyushin, a partner of The Untitled VC venture fund specializing in investments in startups for retail.
The May Fashion Tech Day promises to be extremely interesting in terms of the composition of speakers and practical issues that will be discussed in the format of panel discussions, round tables, expert seminars, interactive surveys. Speakers from the largest international brands and retailers, such as Mango, Asos, LVMH, Luxottica and many others, are involved in the conference and work on the program.
A pool of speakers of the panel discussion has already been formed, which will open the May Fashion Tech Day and set the tone for the whole event. It will be attended by the heads of companies – market leaders: Solomon Kunin, CEO of Goods; Florian Jansen, CEO of LaModa; Evgeny Shchepelin, Development Director of Yandex.Market Vyacheslav Ivashchenko, Business Development Director of Wildberries; Marta Pompilio, e-commerce Director of Luxottica.
The speakers will discuss business models that are being successfully implemented at the present time, and those that will ensure business profits in the near future. The second topic of the panel discussion will be the client and his needs, how not to lose sight of them in the process of digital transformation and constant dynamic changes in the ecosystem of the fashion market.
Comments Solomon Kunin, CEO of Goods: "I would like to hear a real request from colleagues in the market: where a breakthrough in development is required and where consolidation of efforts will help; to understand which requests are currently being ignored. And, of course, to announce ourselves, our plans, communicate with colleagues and meet new market players. The conference is definitely worth visiting to keep up to date with market news and the main trends of the industry.
