The Wharton Graduate Retail Conference is a marquee event hosted by the Wharton Graduate Retail Club & the Jay H. Baker Retailing Center. Now in its 15th iteration, the event provides an avenue to educate the next generation of retail leaders as well as to exchange ideas on current trends & developments affecting the retail industry.
2020 has been especially challenging for retailers as companies were forced to either fail or adapt to unforeseen conditions overnight. If anything, this past year has shown retail's resilience in the face of obstacles with the most successful players exceeding analyst expectations & delivering value to end-consumers. The conference will invite speakers & panelists to provide both a retrospective on their keys to success during COVID-19 & a prospective of how these lessons can apply to both crises & opportunities not yet at their doorstep.
