A Message From FGI President & CEO

Dear FGI Community,

I am excited to announce that the Fashion Group International will be partnering with the World Retail Congress 23 in Barcelona as the official fashion industry association partner.

I believe that this partnership will create new opportunities for our members to branch out and connect with industry leaders from across the world. World Retail Congress’s broad reach and mission to unite senior retailers and brands aligns with our goal of creating a platform for open discussion amongst retailers. FGI Members, please see your email for a special offer to attend plus exclusive invitation to the International Women in Retail Reception.

In keeping with the spirit of supporting new creativity, talent and facilitating growth in the retail sector, I am delighted to announce that I will be serving as a judge for the student competition, Future Retail Challenge at the World Retail Congress 23. I hope that my involvement in this year’s event will encourage positive conversations around the fashion industry as well as conversations that challenge the status quo in retail.

About the World Retail Congress: From its inception in 2007, the World Retail Congress has been the leading forum for senior retail and brand leaders from across the retail industry in all sectors, channels and regions. Each year, an agenda is carefully crafted by the Congress content team with input from retailers and other experts globally to ensure that the topics are forward-looking and will resonate with and be relevant to the world’s top retail and brand leaders. The emphasis is on sharing ideas and insights in a peer-to-peer, neutral environment. Attendance is strictly by invitation, to give the senior-level audience a truly memorable experience.

With the World Retail Congress, Fashion Group International aims to bring about change in retail through strategy, sharing insights and through fostering powerful connections during the three-day event and work together to unite the world’s global retail leaders.

All the best,

MARYANNE GRISZ
President & CEO
