Wu David, ranked the world’s No. 2 futurist by Global Gurus and author of Future Proof: Reinventing Work in the Age of Acceleration, will headline the two-day event themed “Retail Game-Changers.”
“With Diana’s insights, we aim to energize and equip retailers for the future, offering transformative perspectives on staying relevant and resilient,” the PRA said in a statement.
