On July 10, Coresight Research attended the Rethink Connect Experiential Marketing Symposium in New York City. Founded by Dalia Strum, an entrepreneur and educator at the Fashion Institute of Technology, the invite-only event was attended by more than 100 professionals and featured discussions led by business leaders from Google, Refinery29, Ritz-Carlton, the Miami Marlins, the Council of Fashion Designers of America, DVF and Maman.

Speakers at the event shared brand strategies and ways to create positive brand connections that increase trust and conversion rates.
