Two weeks left to save $200 — register now
Hi, Register now to save $200 on the Early Mover Rate! Discount ends July 31. Ask a young urban millennial woman what she ate for lunch, or why her eyebrows are so “on fleek,” and chances are you’ll hear about Sweetgreen and Glossier. The fast-casual salad chain and digital-first skincare and makeup line are brands that have inspired cult followings among twenty- and thirtysomethings — both are leveraging technology to connect with their fans. Sweetgreen is known for its out-the-door lunchtime lines in affluent cities, while Glossier proliferates on Instagram, where viral hashtags like the facemask-selfie-promoting #maskforce turn fangirls into brand ambassadors. And investors are lining up for a cut. Sweetgreen raised $35 million in 2015, which has fueled its expansion to the West Coast and, recently, Chicago. Glossier’s 2016 series B drew $24 million, which will allow Glossier to ship internationally and establish permanent brick-and-mortar outlets. So, what makes these brands catnip for the young and affluent? We’ve invited Sweetgreen co-founder and co-CEO Jonathan Neman and Glossier founder and CEO Emily Weiss to talk with us onstage at Code Commerce in New York City. Neman and Weiss are joining a powerful and diverse commerce lineup that already includes: Williams-Sonoma CEO Laura Alber Blue Apron CEO Matt Salzberg Star retail investor Kirsten Green NBA Commissioner Adam Silver Fanatics Executive Chairman Michael Rubin Bonobos CEO Andy Dunn BuzzFeed Head of Product Labs Ben Kaufman The Wirecutter President David Perpich During our two-day event, you’ll hear from all of them, along with other entrepreneurs and executives who are disrupting the brick-and-mortar model. You'll also have a chance to network with your smartest peers, and get unparalleled insight to bring back to your own company. You’re just in time! There’s just one week left to save $200 with the First Mover Registration when you register now.
