We’re back after a whirlwind week in Las Vegas at Shoptalk! Thank you to all the amazing women who joined us in the Women in Retail Pavilion on the show floor — we loved chatting with you!

If you’re a Women in Retail Leadership Circle member and weren’t able to join us at Shoptalk, and therefore missed our interviews with retail leaders such as Fabletics’ Chief Operating Officer Meera Bhatia, Kate Spade Chief Marketing Officer Jenny Campbell, or Savage X Fenty Co-President Christiane Pendarvis, you can stream all of the recorded sessions on-demand here.

Now, a question for you: What do the metaverse, retail media networks, and the 2022 Top Women in Retail all have in common?

They will all be discussed at length during the upcoming Women in Retail and Total Retail Virtual Exchange, taking place on Thurs., May 19 (12 p.m. – 2 p.m. ET). Discussing these timely and relevant topics will be the following retail leaders (among others):

  • Rebecca Minkoff, co-founder and creative director of Rebecca Minkoff, for a conversation on the metaverse and the role retailers and brands can play in the virtual world.
  • Sucharita Kodali, vice president and principal analyst at Forrester, and Michael Schuh, vice president of media strategy for Kroger Precision Marketing, will be offering their insights into why retail media networks are the next big thing.
  • Several honorees featured in our 2022 Top Women in Retail report, including Maly Bernstein, CEO of Bluemercury, will tell us about their career journeys, what makes an effective leader in today’s shifting retail and work landscape, and more.

Come prepared with questions for these retail experts, as the virtual event is designed to be interactive. You can register for this free event here.
