Marcolin Talk in NYC
The third event of the format was held on October 9th, starring three authoritative speakers who discussed some of today's most pressing issues, including innovation, sustainability and the future of business.
Guiding Theme
After Milan and Shanghai, Marcolin Talk made its debut in New York on October 9th. In the spaces of the new Madison Avenue showroom, which opened last year in the heart of Manhattan, three special guests discussed the guiding theme Boundless Visions. And they did so while responding to the questions posed by journalist Arthur Zaczkiewicz, editor-in-chief of WWD, the influential fashion and lifestyle magazine founded in New York in 1910. The theme of visions is very dear to Marcolin: “boundless visions”, the new claim of the Longarone-based company, represents a driver to see beyond, strive for excellence and pursue innovation, values that are at the heart of its corporate philosophy.
Speakers
On stage, in front of a select audience of guests, including customers, journalists and collaborators, three prominent figures discussed the topics of innovation, Made in Italy, design, creativity and sustainability. Starting with Alberto Acito, Managing Director of Innovit, the new San Francisco-based Italian Innovation and Culture Hub that aims to create connections between Italian startups, companies, and cultural institutions as well as opportunities in the Silicon Valley and the U.S. market. He shared the stage with Gabriele Chiave, VP Creative Director – Design&Innovation of the Estée Lauder Group. Finally, also highly anticipated was the speech by Pagitsas Advisors CEO Chrissa Pagitsas, who is currently one of the most influential corporate strategic advisors on sustainability and green economy issues.
Conclusions
To close the meeting, as per tradition, Marcolin CEO & General Manager Fabrizio Curci made his closing remarks, summarizing the reflections that emerged during the talks. He also connected these visions with the way of doing business of a company as rooted to its place of origin but at the same time as global as Marcolin, which strikes a balance between boundless vision, research, work, and great attention to the quality of products, but also to the quality of life in the workplace and to the relationships with customers and partners.
