MORNING OF YOUNG MINDS EXPLAINED

Last year, we brought to the stage a curated morning of reverse mentoring for retail’s most senior leaders. In 2024, it’s back, but this time, thanks to our collaboration with The Grocer, we will be hearing from the young minds in FMCG as well as retail.

Think you know Gen Z? Think again. Think Gen Alpha is too young to worry about? Wrong. They’re shaping our future. And we need to listen. Your customer of tomorrow, your workforce of the future, the voters and influencers shaping the political, economical and environmental landscape that you’re navigating.

Every speaker on stage during our Morning of Young Minds will be Gen Z or Gen Alpha. These bold, brilliant and curious speakers will challenge us to think differently about the world and how we live, think, work and shop.

See the dedicated Young Minds programme below from last year for a flavour on what's in store for you.
