    WHAT IS VOICES?

    VOICES is The Business of Fashion’s annual gathering bringing together the movers, shakers and trailblazers of the global fashion industry and uniting them with the big thinkers, entrepreneurs and inspiring people who are shaping the wider world. Through cross-industry learning and collaboration, VOICES unlocks exciting synergies and forges insights and learning that will transform your outlook on business — and life.

    This year, our annual flagship event will be delivered via a live broadcast adapted for the unique circumstances of the Covid-19 era — and BoF Professional and BoF Professional Student members anywhere in the world can take part in this shared global experience as the industry looks ahead to 2021.

    THE AGENDA

    The conversations we have at VOICES are more relevant, necessary and valuable now than ever before. This year we’re moving the VOICES stage from a barn in Oxfordshire into a former fashion retail store in the heart of West London, where over three days we will broadcast a series of provocative talks and interactive discussions designed to open your mind, lift your spirits and take you out of your comfort zone.

    DAY 1: DECEMBER 1

    THE WIDER WORLD
    2—5pm, London / 9am—12pm, New York
    BoF VOICES always begins by taking a step back and taking stock of the forces shaping the wider world. For this bumper kickoff, we gather the industry’s most consequential leaders and the world’s most provocative thinkers and activists to explore the most important issues of our times.
