#HBSRLGC – Day 2: Emerging Markets Panel

4/15/12 – After the keynote address from Max Azria, I went on to some of the panel sessions. The panel sessions are a little more intimate than the keynotes because you get to hear different perspectives on the same issues that concern retailers today. You’ll see competitors, collaborators, and disruptors in the same room. This year there were four panels and I attended two:

Emerging Markets – The panelists were:

Anya Ayoung Chee – Designer, Project Runway Winner
Kai Schoppen – CEO, Brandsclub Group
Malte Horeyseck – Co-Founder and Managing Director, Dafiti
Tikka Karpurthala – Chief Representative in Asia for Moet-Hennessy/Group Advisor Louis Vuitton, India

New Business Directions – The panelists were:

Anthony W. Campbell – EVP of Administration, Vice Chairman’s Office, Perry Ellis International
Julie Bull – Director of Investor Relations, Dillards
Mark Bonchek – SVP Communities and Networks, Sears Holdings

Here are the tweets to catch you up on what went on in the Emerging Markets panel.

I’ll end this post with a picture I took with . Over lunch he spoke with me about his family’s historic involvement with LVMH going back over two generations.
