Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers across Canada have embraced e-commerce and in some retail categories, online sales have advanced years into the future. One brand that understands this, having handled soaring growth in digital sales over the past three months, is Vancouver-based womenswear retailer ARITZIA. During the webinar he will discuss how to survive – and thrive – during monumental upheaval.

Brisebois and Canada’s top retail leaders and industry insiders. The webinar series aims to assist everyone in the retail industry who has been forced to reconsider how their organization’s teams, operations, inventories and policies will need to adjust to ensure a strong retail recovery.
