Chainbalance Chat & Dine: ILM edition
Where fashion experts talk fashion business!

Trade fairs are busy, loud and packed with impressions. Important conversations often happen in the margins: over a quiet drink, a shared pain point, or a good question asked at the right moment.

That is why we created Chainbalance Chat & Dine.

Now in its 11th edition, this event series brings together decision-makers and experts from leading fashion, footwear and sports brands in an intimate setting alongside key industry exhibitions. No stages, no sales pitches, no lengthy presentations – just honest conversations, good food, and practical exchange.

The goal: to create a trusted space for open dialogue about the challenges and opportunities in today’s fashion industry.

Creating trust for open dialogue and discussion

The fashion industry is facing huge shifts: AI-driven decision-making, sustainability pressure, margin erosion and changing consumer behaviour. Many of these topics cannot be solved in isolation: they need shared experience and collaboration.

Chat & Dine is our way of:

  • Connecting peers who rarely have time to talk beyond formal meetings
  • Sharing real-life learnings around AI-based Smart Replenishment, PO forecasting, Initial Allocation and all things merchandise management
  • Giving brands a neutral, vendor-independent environment to exchange ideas, doubts, failures and successes
