The inspirational and highly influential Condé Nast College of Fashion & Design invited Geometry UK’s Head of Digital, Debbie Ellison, to lecture at its BA [Hons] Fashion Communication course. The series of talks was held with WIRED magazine.

“We are very excited to have launched a thought-provoking speaker series in conjunction with WIRED magazine kicked off by the brilliant Debbie Ellison, Head of Digital from Geometry. She left students fizzing with ideas and questions about not just today’s ever shifting retail landscape but also the extraordinary, mind-bending implications of what might lie ahead” said Susie Forbes, Principal, Condé Nast College of Fashion & Design.

Seventy plus students joined Debbie’s “The Real Secrets of e-Commerce” talk – super interested in how tech and innovation is impacting business today. There were great questions around the power of the big retailers and the data they hold, and, the challenges new retailers and designers might face on start up.

Debbie’s presentation looked at how technology is influencing and disrupting the $3 trillion global apparel market via e-commerce. With over 70% of shopping carts abandoned online, Debbie explored how brands and retailers are using technology to decrease this percentage and build business.
