The week after Thanksgiving, starting with Black Friday and Cyber Monday, traditionally kicks off the holiday sales season and the pivotal “make or break “ period for retailers. WAMM is honored to have one of the most widely quoted and leading observers of the retail sector investing space, Dana Telsey.

Dana Telsey is the CEO and Chief Research Officer of Telsey Advisory Group (TAG), a leading equity research, trade execution, investment banking and consulting firm, focusing on the consumer space. Ms Telsey has followed over 100 companies during her 31-year career and is the only U.S. based analyst to provide complete analysis of the European luxury goods sector.

Lawrence and Vice President of the Baron Asset Fund at Baron Capital, Inc.

Join us for Ms Telsey’s expert insights as we enter the holiday shopping season. How will global supply chain constraints affect retail markets? Who will be this year’s retail winners and losers? How do current economic conditions and consumer sentiment affect the balance between online and brick-and-mortar shopping, and between mass market and luxury retail?
