Join Nader Naeymi-Rad and McKinsey and Co.’s Andrew Davis and Tyler Harris as well as retail expert and author Sanford Stein as they dig into the state of discovery and map out what beauty retailers will look like going forward with omnichannel capabilities, AI and AR implementations, community engagement spaces and service offerings.
