Presenting in the afternoon of day two, Riccardi and Beretta will share their journey on how to learn from the future and grow with tomorrow in mind. Their talk will focus on the challenges inherent in building and marketing brands in China, where past experience is not predictable of the future, where business models have a short life span, where new consumers, shoppers and retail environments emerge and develop every day, where new generations switch off their television sets, avoid supermarkets and other familiar things from the past.
