Business models, consumer expectations and technologies are all shifting at a rapid rate against a challenging macro-economic background. However, tough times create opportunities for innovation.

Drapers Future of Fashion is a one-day conference and networking event that united professionals from the fashion retail sector focused on technology and innovation. We examined the technology, topics and trends driving the transformation of the industry.

We took a deep dive into:

  • The technology and trends shaping the future of fashion retail
  • Which businesses are driving innovation and how can we learn from them?
  • How can businesses inspire and stay one step ahead of digital-savvy consumers’ expectations?

Why attend

This is the only event in the Drapers calendar that is focused specifically on technology and innovation. The ‘future of fashion’ can mean many things, but to us it is about achieving success in a new era where consumer engagement, costs and collaboration rule supreme.

Take one day out to meet peers face to face. The work-from-home culture has many benefits, but nothing beats sharing challenges and solutions in person. Brainstorm, make industry connections, and leave feeling invigorated and inspired.

Learn from fellow fashion retail businesses by hearing about their journey – from successes to challenges, gain inspiration and action points to ensure your business knows how to move forward in the face of economic uncertainty.

Incredibly insightful and inspirational to hear what is happening at the forefront of the industry!
