6th Global DIY-Summit The Networking Event for the Home Improvement Industry 2018 John W. Herbert Ladies and Gentlemen, We would like to invite you to the sixth edition of the Global DIY Summit, the networking event for the home improvement industry, where manufacturers and retailers have the opportunity to gather and exchange views on current trends. The main congress theme is “DIY Next – Reinventing our Industry”. The difficulty for the industry’s leaders is that they cannot afford to focus on just one aspect of disruption. Manufacturers and retailers have to navigate three revolutions at once: a geographic, a demographic and a technological. The expectation of the arrival, by 2030, of a billion new consumers in China and 500 million in India, the change in the consumer behavior due to the rise of the Millennial consumers group, and the global penetration of mobile phones are the main factors of global volatility and will remain the main concerns for many market leaders. With social, economic, technological and environmental change continuing and accelerating companies will need to be agile Ralf Rahmede to survive. The view that the best way to survive disruption is to lead it is increasingly being accepted by many established manufacturers and retailers. There is a balance to be struck, but many companies are changing their strategies, structures, and business models. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to embrace disruption and reshape the future of your business. Save your place now and join us on 13-14 June 2018 in Barcelona! Best regards, John W.
