What’s In Store for the 2020s: 5 Macro Trends that will Shape the Consumers, Culture and Retail In the Next Decade
Join futurist and Light Years’ founder Lucie Greene to explore key macro trends that will shape the way consumers think, connect, shop, and appraise brands in the years to come. With some far-out predictions of where they might lead next. We’ll look at the Big Reset and the shift in consumer values post Pandemic — particularly among millennials. As well as the impact of post Pandemic life on the way we work, live and connect to cities. We’ll look at the future of wellbeing. We’ll explore new innovations (and expectations) in sustainability — and how innovative brands and retailers are staying ahead of the curve. We’ll look at Gen Zs, the next youth cohort already changing the brand landscape and increasingly having outsize, multi-generational influence. We’ll also look at the rapidly evolving, and converging landscape of entertainment, commerce, social media, and experiences — the metaverse and beyond.
