A perfect summation of the day. It was a nice day, not an awe-inspiring day. I agree that we were two questions off getting into the nitty gritty.
Also, I want to see some case studies! Similar to the large tech conferences - one room with multiple activations you can tune in with headphones. Recommend having breakout spaces in the foyer mixing zone where new startups/ people harnessing new tech can showcase their work and talk through actual case studies.
What about pairing the vogue codes summit with a pitch night where there is a grant for investment and/ or mentorship - you stay for the final unveiling.
Great article! I wasn’t surprised when Armina called investing “boring” when addressing the audience I think it’s a reflex that women in finance do when we address people who aren’t in the industry because the perception is that talking about numbers is “boring” which is a shame because talking about numbers and being comfortable with financial topics is a powerful way for women to be empowered and take charge of their lives.
Also it’s such a shame she said her case study was boring because if I recall she was talking about knowing when to invest in one company because she noticed it was on the same growth trajectory of another successful company that’s already matured. This isn’t a boring case study, this is a great insight into how investors think and something everyone can take notes.
As an event founder - this was a really great read. Thanks for sharing in such detail!
Also loved your read on Fashionology - this is the core of a GREA Event experience: "That is a room walking out with new language, new contacts, and a map of where the industry is actually going."
Definitely keen to pick your brains as I build Australia's first female pleasure event Brooke!
This is all predicated on the assumption that vogue wants to be known as a leader in fashion tech. It feels like the strategic play, but maybe misaligned with their actual ambition.
