“One of the many lessons from the pandemic has been the need for all of us to take better care of ourselves. The crisis saw, and continues to see, an explosion in products and activities associated with wellness and health, from hiking, biking and running to yoga and more. Our goal with this joint forum between WWD and Footwear News is to highlight some of the key trends now, and those likely to last in the months and years ahead,” said Jim Fallon, editorial director of Fairchild Media Group.
Topics will range from the consumer mindset on health, how Gen Z thinks about health and beauty, how retail is shapeshifting to meet demand, new categories in the market, and the future of preexisting categories like shapewear and ingestibles.
Event sponsors include Ryka and Zappos.com.
