Hi {{first_name|there}}!
In this issue, we’re spotlighting where strategy gets personal: 1:1 meetings that actually move the needle, invite-only workshops that trade slides for solutions, and off-the-record forums where retail’s biggest names speak freely.
Whether you’re mapping your next tech investment or pressure-testing your growth playbook, these are the moments that make The Lead Summit more than just another event.
🧠 Where Senior Retail Leaders Swap Real-World Strategy
While keynotes inspire and workshops dig deep, the Digital Assembly is where retail’s most senior digital and marketing leaders talk shop — off the record, behind closed doors.
Designed for SVPs, EVPs, and C-suite leaders, this closed-door program runs alongside The Lead Summit and brings together decision-makers from brands like Victoria’s Secret, Coach, Michaels, WHP Global, Claire’s, and Kendra Scott.
The format? High-level, small-room conversations focused on what’s actually working across:
Retail media and attribution
AI in marketing workflows
Tech investment and measurement
Brand building in fragmented channels
Each session is curated around real-world problem-solving, with candid debate encouraged. No slides. Just peer-to-peer learning with people who run the same playbooks you do — and the budget lines that go with them.
Many of the topics on the table — from retail media attribution to measuring tech ROI — align with what Fospha is already helping brands deliver.
Their full-funnel measurement platform brings clarity across fragmented channels, connecting upper-funnel investments like Meta and TikTok to lower-funnel results on DTC. For marketers under pressure to prove impact, Fospha’s insights help turn strategic conversations into performance-driven action.

🎓 3 x 25: Workshops Built for Real Work
This year’s three workshops are where 75 marketers and eCommerce leads will dig into the how behind the hype.
Each session seats just 25 participants, and the format is intentionally hands-on — focused on solving specific challenges like increasing cart size, applying AI tools, and driving performance across channels. It’s the kind of focused, measurable thinking that platforms like Fospha support — helping brands track performance with full-funnel clarity.
Led by retailers and built with practitioners in mind, these workshops are for Manager and Director-level attendees ready to step beyond theory and into application.
