The Mandatory recap: Forward-thinking fashion, music, food, and design

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.

After the event, we danced the night away to the amazing tunes of DJ Hell at our private special event. Mandatory knows how to throw a party!

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!
