This year’s theme, The Year of the Reset, reflects how the rules of fashion, business and culture are being rewritten. As legacy systems give way to new value frameworks, brands, creativity and consumers are rethinking what success looks like—and how to build it. Alongside a diverse line-up of over 30 speakers, attendees will also hear from leaders at some of the world’s most influential brands, including Burberry, LVMH, Kering, VEJA, Vogue India, and Beyond the Vines, as well as regional voices such as Angel Chen, Toton Januar, and Rizman Ruzaini.
