Delegates attending a GA seminar on September 27 will be among the first to learn more about emerging global trends over the next 18 months.
Marianne Shillingford, the creative director at Dulux, and founder of the Colour in Design Awards, will be sharing global trend research knowledge with GA members three months before the report is officially launched.
Other speakers on the day include JC Social Media’s head of training service, David Glenwright, an expert on digital trends, who has recently appeared on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio 5 Live.
The event, which will be held at The Giftware Association’s offices in Vyse Street, Birmingham, follows on from the latest Meet The Buyer Day which took place on August 16. Held in collaboration with Find Me A Gift – winner of The Greats 2018 Best Online/Or Mail Order Gift Retailer category – and Health & Her, it attracted a broad spectrum of the GA’s supplier members.
