Morning of Young Minds Explained

Brand new to Retail Week LIVE 2023, we’re bringing to the stage a curated morning of reverse mentoring for retail’s most senior leaders.

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.

And that’s why we’re introducing one whole morning of reverse mentoring on Day 2 of Retail Week LIVE.

Every speaker on stage 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.
