About
In 2024, Drapers launched the Drapers Supply Chain Summit in response to the growing need of senior operations leaders to unite and collaborate to examine how the industry is being shaped by omnichannel sales, increasing automation, and a conscious and demanding consumer.
A tightly curated group of 50 people came to The Soho Hotel in London for an afternoon of discussion and learnings, ranging from inventory management and rising costs to optimising pre-retail performance and sustainability.
A private networking dinner followed into the evening, where conversations continued and connections were made.
In 2025, we are returning to the Soho Hotel with the same ethos in mind, casting a critical eye over the operational needs of fashion retailers, with a renewed sense of optimism about the future.
