Success across a landscape impacted by ever-changing financial conditions, sourcing and labor issues and rapidly evolving consumer tastes requires even the most dynamic companies to rewrite their playbooks. And as we navigate a constantly changing playing field, it is the innovative leaders that deserve the spotlight. The 2022 FN CEO Summit, coming Wednesday, August 3 at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, will spotlight these, the best of the best of the industry’s New Powerbrokers.

This year’s summit aims to understand the radical changes in today’s highly connected consumer, to dissect fast-changing global dynamics, and to examine pivotal issues around sustainability and inclusivity along with other market trends that are driving growth today. To that end, we’ve gathered the principal voices of retail, brand, design, tech and more in conversations designed to shed light on what’s next for us all as leaders and as a global community striving for progress.

I look forward to the exchange, the dialog, and to seeing you all.
