Sylvie Freund Pickavance, strategy and business development director at Value Retail
David McNulty, head of architecture at ICICLE Fashion Group

Date: Thursday 14th October
Time: 12.00pm (BST)

Can bricks and mortar stores be supplanted by virtual platforms or can they co-exist?
Are certain types of retail more resilient to the pandemic fallout?
How has the way we should approach retail design changed in a post-covid world?
