Exclusive Fashion Retail Breakfast

Hosted by Board & K.Group

The fashion industry is evolving — and so is the way we plan it.

On October 30th in Utrecht, Board and K.Group hosted the Exclusive Fashion Retail Breakfast: a morning dedicated to innovation and fresh perspectives on planning in the fashion sector.
Over coffee and croissants, professionals and decision makers from across fashion and retail came together to discuss how connected planning can turn complexity into clarity and create tangible value.

An open and inspiring conversation

During the session, Jeroen van den Elzen shared insights and success stories drawn from over 25 years of experience with leading international fashion brands — showing how integrated planning helps align financial goals, merchandising strategies, and supply chain operations in real time.

Key topics included:

• How connected planning enables faster, data-driven decision-making
• How collaboration improves agility and sustainability
• How technology and AI are turning planning into a competitive advantage

A morning of networking and exchange that once again proved how, even in fashion, the best ideas often start with great coffee.
