Outside in the Roaring '20s
presented by WGSN
2 p.m. ET
Join Joe McDonnell, head of
WGSN Insight, the world's
leading trend forecaster, as we
discuss how COVID-19 has permanently
changed the outdoor
industry. Armchair adventurers
are getting outside and looking for
new challenges, while infl uencers
are impersonating national parks
on TikTok. As more and more people
emerge from lockdown, their
needs have changed. We explore
the outdoor future-from luxury
cocktails in a can to alfresco living
rooms-and how to align with
these new attitudes.
permanent mile marker, remembered
for generations to come.
Companies in all sectors will
point to this unprecedented
time as the moment everything
changed, from consumer behaviors
to supply chain function-the
moment that every market, industry,
vertical, profession, and
category of product or service
would, in some way, be shifted
off its axis and, for the fi rst time
in recorded history, the moment
that every wheel, cog, and
gear in the global retail machine
would grind to a virtual halt.
During the pandemic, the outdoor
industry saw an increase
in outdoor participants and
demand for companies to solve
today's biggest global challenges.
According to Edelman Trust
Barometer, where consumers
believe government, NGOs,
and the media are falling short,
they are looking to the business
community to focus on societal
engagement with the same rigor,
thoughtfulness, and energy
used to deliver on profi ts in exchange
for their trust and loyalty.
Doug Stephens, bestselling
author and founder of the global
consultancy Retail Prophet, provides
an incisive look into the future
of retail in a post-COVID-19
world. The topics of changing
consumer behavior and company
roles, the future of physical
and online retail, and how global
supply chains will adapt will all
be tackled in this fast-paced and
gripping talk, led by one of the
industry's foremost experts.

Over the past year, as the world
battled the COVID-19 pandemic,
more Americans-some for the
first time-got outdoors to enjoy
the physical and mental health
benefi ts of outdoor recreation.
Yet we face a series of challenges
that will impact our ability to
preserve these open spaces
and ensure that they are open
and accessible to all Americans
for generations to come.
Overcoming these obstacles is
essential for the outdoor industry.
We know that for our businesses
to thrive, the outdoors
must thrive.
