Creative Futures is an annual meeting place for c-level creatives working within style-led industries and will look to provide insight into design, product, retail, marketing and consumer trends through a two-day series of panel discussions, hangouts and networking sessions. 

Industry advisor, Lauretta Roberts is the founder and director of both Creative Futures and the WGSN Global Fashion Awards. “The world's leading innovators challenge the norm every single day,” says Lauretta. “Spend two days with the creative disrupters who will inspire you to think differently about your role, your business and your customers.”

The summit will see attendees from WGSN's key international client base including leading CEOs, CMOS, creative directors, product directors, marketing directors, brand directors and more who will be given insight and inspiration from revered speakers. Speakers include Dazed & Confused's Jefferson Hack, world famous photographer and founder of SHOWstudio Nick Knight, Roberta Lucca from WonderLuk and two Industry members, Joshua White of Candid Magazine and Tank's Caroline Issa to name a few. The event aims to challenge attendees to develop new ideas and break down internal barriers to innovation. 

“We're very proud to be partnering with Creative Futures,” adds The Industry's managing director, Courtney Blackman, who also sits on the advisory board. “There isn't another summit on the market that leverages creativity in the same way. Creative Futures provides a unique opportunity to connect and collaborate with creative leaders.”

The event will take place at No.11 Cavendish Square, London on the 13th and 14th of May 2015 and the cocktail party will take place on the 13th, hosted by The Industry. The combined event is in conjunction with the WGSN Global Fashion Awards, which takes place on the 14th of May.
