"One of the most impactful aspects of the event was the strong diversity among both attendees and speakers. It felt like every voice was represented, and you could truly sense how meaningful it was for each speaker to be there.

Hearing their journeys and advice firsthand, especially knowing the extra effort many had to make to reach their positions, was incredibly inspiring. I also really enjoyed meeting people from a wide range of retailers, spanning different roles, levels, and experiences."

"Oftentimes, we have tunnel vision for what is going in within our organization that we forget we are a part of something much bigger than us. It was wonderful to connect with other retail leaders across many of these organizations this week.

I am feeling connected, inspired, and so grateful to have attended this summit."

— Naomi Connor, Manager, Store Operations, EssilorLuxottica

"The opportunity to hear from current industry leaders and connect with the future changemakers of retail was truly invaluable.

The insights shared throughout the summit were not only inspiring but directly applicable to my day-to-day at Dick's Sporting Goods. I'm excited to bring these lessons back to work and help drive continued growth and innovation with my team."
