The State of Retail: Trend Tracking and Forecasting for Small Retailers

Tuesday, October 3, 9:00am - 10:15am PST

What’s the next big thing in retail? When you are caught up in the day-to-day operations of your retail business, it can be easy to feel left behind when trends emerge. Major players like Amazon and Whole Foods make big moves that send ripples through the retail sector, but that’s not always a bad thing for smaller businesses. Join retail experts Christine Guillot and Joanna Rutter for a podcast-style conversation on retail intelligence and industry trends, especially as we prepare for the upcoming holiday season. Take a deep dive beneath the retail news headlines to learn what direction the industry is heading and what that means for small and startup retail businesses.

Forecasting Foot Traffic: Weather's Astounding Impact on Your Store

Tuesday, October 3, 12:00pm - 1:15pm PST

Did you know that almost nine out of every 10 in-store dollars you make above or below your average is due to the weather? Don't be a weather-reactive retailer — though gray days and heat waves are out of your control, you can still be one step ahead of Mother Nature by planning inventory and staffing around foot traffic trends. Discover how retailers have used data to do more than simply react to weather events and leave with a plan of your own to turn rainy days into growing seasons for your business.

Fashion Tech Forum provides a platform of discovery and inspiration for the leaders of fashion, retail and technology sectors to build the disruptive, sustainable brands of the future.
