KEYNOTE | Consumer Behavior: What's Changed, What Hasn't, and Why It Matters
David Katz, EVP & CMO, Randa Apparel & Accessories
At the SPLiCE International Conference, David will lead a discussion on consumer behavior: what has changed, what has not, and why it matters to licensing, brands, and the stories that we tell.
