The Retail and Luxury Goods Club club brings educational and networking events to its members. Here is a highlight of the events from the past year:
Throughout the school year, Retail and Luxury Goods Club invites speakers to share their views on how current trends are affecting the retail and luxury goods industry, as well as career advice and entrepreneurship experience. To give club members a more experiential view of the industry, we often pair these speaker events with guided tours of showrooms and designing offices. In the latter part of 2009 and in 2010, we will be focusing on sustainable practices in retail, e-retailing, the effects of challenging economic times, the value of retail consulting services and more. |
