In their words

What people say

I don't see where we sell as being either within four walls or a digital platform. Consumers may discover a brand on social media or in a store — there are so many entry points. How do you make sure you retain them through the journey?
Stéphane de La FaverieCEO, Estée Lauder
I think every organisation needs to think about a new way of connecting to the new generation of customers.
Mohsen GhasempourGroup AI Director, Kingfisher
A fantastic day, perfectly balanced between innovation, insight and meaningful connections. The roundtables stood out, delivering highly relevant content and sparking great conversations.
