Retaissance Live, 3 and 9 November 2021 - Participation through the services of the EEN network

Retaissance Live - 2nd Edition, 3 and 9 November 2021

For the retail sector, 2020 was the year when everything changed: conventional business models disrupted and sales channels destroyed. Technology has enabled many brands and retailers to stay in business but trading conditions in 2022 are likely to be challenging. Therefore, diversifying sales and markets is essential to grow revenues.

To support the rebuilding, Retaissance in partnership with Enterprise Europe Network, organises the second edition of Retaissance Live to help European premium fashion and lifestyle brands connect to facilitate innovation, trade and overcome current challenges.

Retaissance Live specialises in promoting independent and sustainable brands in the fashion, footwear, jewellery, beauty, childrenswear and accessories sectors to increase their brand presence and sales revenue globally.

On 3 November 2021, companies registered for the event can attend an exclusive 3-hour workshop to help them develop a compelling value proposition and pitch to buyers, and insights to ensure their e-commerce practices are efficient. This workshop will be delivered by:

- Retaissance, the UK's leading retail aggregator, is a leading fashion and lifestyle agency that builds a community of high-quality independent brands and provides them with a fair and level playing field to enable trade and build their global presence and revenue.

- NuORDER, a leading B2B e-commerce platform in the US that helps brands provide a seamless and more collaborative wholesale process where shoppers can browse products, plan assortments and make smarter purchases in real time.

On 9 November 2021, the Meet the Buyer event will be held to stimulate trade and innovation in the retail industry. Participating vendors will be able to present their products in meetings with buyers who have selected them, using the dedicated digital platform. Currently registered buyers include: John Lewis & partners, FashionUnited, Wolf&Badger, LDC. Lone Design Club, Faire, STAG The Buying Group, Seezona, Khoeo, The Clothing Lounge, Coveti, Atterley, Aequem, and Curated Crowd.

The cost of the package, worth around £10,000, is waived for companies by their EEN support office.
