Lead Like Her LIVE

CBUS Retail is back with an afternoon of connecting with other retail industry professionals.

Lead Like Her LIVE

11:30 AM – 5:00 PM
Presented by The Robin Report | Sponsored by CBUS Retail

Join us for an afternoon of candid, no-nonsense conversation about what it actually takes to lead in retail. Lunch will be provided!

Lead Like Her LIVE brings together executives, founders, emerging leaders, and students for lunch, a keynote, and facilitated discussions on the real challenges and opportunities facing women in retail leadership today.

This is not a conference.
No stages. No slides. No performative storytelling.

Round tables. Straight talk. Real insight that actually moves you forward.

Retail Exchange + One Degree

5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Presented by CBUS Retail | In Partnership with Ohio State’s Fashion & Retail Studies Program

As the afternoon conversation concludes, the energy continues with CBUS Retail’s Retail Exchange at One Degree.

Retail Exchange is where strategy meets connection.

Industry leaders, founders, operators, and emerging talent come together on The Ohio State University campus for meaningful networking, shared learning, and recognition of the next generation of retail professionals. Learn about the transformation taking place in retail, and the 2026 internship scholarships and 2026-2027 Student Ambassadors will be announced.

This isn’t transactional networking.
It’s relationship building across the retail ecosystem.

Because the future of retail in Columbus depends on how well we connect experience with ambition — and leadership with pipeline.

Learn about the transformation that's taking place in retail, and the 2026 internship scholarships will be announced, as well as the 2026-2027 Student Ambassadors.
