track and session descriptions Track 1: Disruptive Retail Startups and Pioneering Brands MONDAY, MAY 16 1. Startups Driving Product Innovation 10:30–11:10am Rob Daley, Co-Founder & CEO, 4moms Julie Fredrickson, CEO & Co-Founder, Stowaway Cosmetics Phoebe Hayman, CEO, Seedling Mariah Chase, CEO, ELOQUII Product innovation isn't just driven by large companies with big budgets-today, a growing number of venture-backed startups are developing new approaches to product development and, as a result, creating some of the most innovative new products on the market. By focusing on specific segments, these startups are pioneering products that (1) address key customer pain points and opportunities, (2) capitalize on the latest technologies and on-demand access to production capabilities, and (3) utilize new design and development methodologies and new approaches to managing the value chain. Hear from leaders at companies that are developing groundbreaking new products in a wide range of categories ranging from apparel to beauty to toys.

2. New Marketplace Startups 11:15–11:55am Bill Bobbitt, Co-Founder & CEO, Move Loot George Arison, Founder & CEO, Shift Andy Nielsen, President & CEO, Everything But The House Nick Huzar, CEO & Co-Founder, OfferUp Moderator: Hans Tung, Managing Partner, GGV Capital Online marketplaces have existed for decades, but new, targeted marketplaces are emerging to match buyers with sellers in specialized areas that remain underserved by current offerings. These new marketplaces offer a superior customer experience by sourcing otherwise unavailable products, providing consistent, high-quality product listings, creating price data repositories and offering advanced support services to buyers and sellers. We'll hear from venture-backed companies that have tackled specific market segments and sought to take market share from larger retailers, marketplaces and other channels.

3. (A) On-Demand Startups Redefining Retail Experiences 12:00–12:40pm Mike Russell, CEO, Paintzen Sam Rosen, Founder & CEO, MakeSpace Moderator: Westin Gaddy, Radian Capital A new group of commerce companies are being built to tackle specialized, time- and resource-intensive tasks ranging from painting rooms to visiting storage facilities. In this session, startups that are building new types of technology-enabled, on-demand service experiences will discuss how they are saving customers time and eliminating the need to buy products and travel to different business locations.

(B) On-Demand Professional Services Matthew Faustman, CEO & Co-Founder, UpCounsel Patrick Petitti, CEO & Co-Founder, HourlyNerd Moderator: Chris Protasewich, Principal, Highland Capital Partners Smaller businesses that cannot afford to hire full-time MBAs or attorneys can now access them for a fraction of the cost on an on-demand basis. The advent of on-demand professional services is also allowing more individuals with specialized skills to work as independent contractors. In this session, we’ll hear from venture-backed startups that are using the shared economy principles of vetting candidates and providing peer reviews to create marketplaces for such services.

4. (A) Guided Commerce Startups 1:40–2:20pm Leura Fine, CEO & Founder, Laurel & Wolf Nick Taranto, Co-Founder & Co-CEO, Plated Moderator: Caroline Fairchild, New Economy Editor, LinkedIn Personalized expert advice is becoming available to the mass market. Today, consumers have increasing access to professionals with new platforms that enable them to create stylish interior designs or gourmet meals and more. In this session, leaders from guided commerce startups will discuss how they're combining technology, data science, marketplace principles and human interaction to provide their customers with unique, curated experiences.

(B) Startups Bringing Offline Discount Models To The Online World

NOTES

Chieh Huang, CEO, Boxed Wholesale David Yeom, CEO & Co-Founder, Hollar Moderator: David Bell, Author, Professor, The Wharton School Discount models are widespread in the traditional retail world, but some of the most popular offline discount models like wholesale clubs and dollar stores are still making the shift online and haven't capitalized on consumers' migration to mobile. In this session, we'll hear from startups that specialize in merging core discount models with traditional and mobile ecommerce. Founders of these startups will discuss how they're getting online buyers to take advantage of the same low-cost shopping options they've come to embrace in physical stores.

5: Recommerce Startups Driving Sales 2:25â&#x20AC;&#x201C;3:05pm James Reinhart, CEO & Co-Founder, thredUP Tracy DiNunzio, CEO & Founder, Tradesy Manish Chandra, Founder & CEO, Poshmark Sebastien Fabre, Founder & CEO, Vestiaire Collective Moderator: Dana Telsey, CEO/Chief Research Officer, Telsey Advisory Group The recommerce trend is growing, with an increasing number of companies providing end-to-end services for consumers to sell unwanted products. The creation of these streamlined secondary market platforms not only enables increased convenience in sales of used goods, but helps establish resale markets and the value of products, boosting primary market retail sales. In this session, we'll hear from companies at the forefront of this trend as they discuss how their various upfront payment and consignment models, retail partnerships and data-driven platforms are driving sales of both pre-owned and new products.

6: Startups Disrupting The Retail Value Chain 3:10â&#x20AC;&#x201C;3:50pm Ryan Babenzien, CEO, Greats Ariel Kaye, CEO & Founder, Parachute Amy Errett, CEO & Founder, Madison Reed Morgan Hermand-Waiche, Founder & CEO, Adore Me Moderator: Andrea Wasserman, Independent Consultant A new category of venture-backed brands is emerging. These emerging brands are generally focused on a single product vertical and premised on delivering new consumer value propositions, controlling production and managing brand messaging and go-to-market strategies as well as disintermediating the value chain. They enable consumers to buy high quality products at better prices, in some cases in sectors currently served by a limited number of large-scale organizations. In this session, we'll hear from leading startups creating new direct-to-consumer brands that have overcome inefficiencies in traditional retail and are instead tackling everything from manufacturing to sales and distribution themselves.

track and session descriptions Track 2: Physical Retail Goes Digital MONDAY, MAY 16 1. (A) Executive Perspectives: Digital Store Trends and Technologies 10:30–11:10am Nigel Oddy, CEO, House of Fraser Interviewer: Deborah Weinswig, Executive Director & Head Of Global Retail And Technology, Fung Business Intelligence Center Retailers have embraced a variety of digital store technologies, but how do they determine which technologies to invest in and which to ignore?

(B) Innovations To Compete With Fast Fashion Karen Moon, CEO & Co-Founder, Trendalytics Moderator: Petah Marian, Senior Editor, Retail Intelligence, WGSN Consumers' attention spans are getting shorter and their expectations of instant gratification are growing. In fashion, this means retailers and brands need to identify trends, and manufacture and distribute products fast enough to fulfill their customers’ desires before they move on. Some brands are taking the opposite approach by rejecting fast fashion and creating sustainable, transparent supply chains that target consumers who want to own fewer and better clothes. In this session, you’ll hear from startups on how manufacturing is evolving to address shifts in consumer preferences.
