We’re honored to enjoy the opportunity of partnering with the innovative trade event Mandatory for the third of its three editions. The trade event took place online with a digital version of the show, powered by NuORDER by Lightspeed and presented as a dedicated portal, and live in Copenhagen’s Øksnehallen Meatpacking District. And every edition just gets better!

Forward-thinking is the first word that comes to mind. Every detail was considered and every measure was taken to ensure the guests from brands and retailers around the world could both do business with ease and have an amazing time. Imagine amazing tunes, delicious food, high design, and industry chats centered on savvy, future-centric, in-the-know themes.

The next day, we hosted an intimate lunch at Restaurant Babylon where we enjoyed delicious meals in a stunning alfresco environment.

This smaller group of Mandatory attendees, clients, industry friends, and others, had the opportunity to catch up and share their thoughts on what’s most important in the industry today as well as future-forward ideas about where we’re headed next.

It was wonderful to see such robust attendance by brands and buyers from around the globe. In fact, some merchants from top retailers even opened up to nss magazine, sharing their ideal ways to buy. You won’t want to miss what they had to say!
