"Let's Shape the Future," presented by Target, centered around the idea that the future is closer than we think and it revolves around what’s being created today.

​

The event featured a dynamic panel discussion exploring insights and future themes in tech, fashion, entrepreneurship, retail, and more. Panelists included:

• Katherine Johnson, Chief People & Legal Officer, Head of Compliance at Storj

• Sarah Edwards, Founder & CEO at Some Great People, CEO of Fashion Week MN

• Le'Spencer Walker, Director of Merchandising Vendor Development at Target

• Brian Skalak, Director at REM5 STUDIOS

​

And, with curated networking through a floating art display from Jordan Wiebe and a virtual reality experience from REM5 VR Lab, it was a night of networking, inspiration, and engagement for the books!

 

Pop-up vendors Get Down Coffee, Sunsett.io, and Black Tech Talent also added a marketplace feel to the event. 

​

It was a fun and psychologically safe way for creatives, industry leaders, and the community to connect and shape the future together!
