Panels Include:

Using a case study of HOKA ONE ONE, this panel will focus on how to chart a course toward a true digital transformation and illustrate the short- to mid-term milestones and action items companies can expect along the way.

Circularity: Building the Infrastructure & Processes Toward Meaningful Change
