Presentations and Seminars:
We have a history of highly sought-after presentations. Label’ s Global Youth Culture Experts have presented in Europe, Japan, North America, Canada, Mexico, and China–as industry summit keynote speakers, in televised global conferences and trade shows, and at a range of brand strategy meetings.
Our presentations offer up a large dose of street-cred with images and video depicting the marketplace including attitude, expression, and lifestyle. The backbone however, includes core science and data about youth market motivations, preferences, influences, cross-cultural analysis, and future forecasting. Because we are the only global youth marketing intelligence media company, we are the only ones that can truly speak about trends on a global level—with data to back it up–regarding this marketplace.
Presentations by Label Networks tend to challenge audiences into thinking deeply about their topic and differently about the future. We take down the cultural barriers that can blind people to big ideas. The ultimate goal from our point of view is that the audience walk away engaged, motivated, and armed with new knowledge towards making smarter and more insightful decisions of their own when it comes to youth culture markets.

Sustainable Brands 2013 Conference: Paradise Point, San Diego, CA, June 3, 2013
Topic: “The Generation of Hope: Connecting Sustainability with Today’s Youth Culture”
While today’s youth culture of 13-25-year-olds is undoubtedly the most tech-savvy generation in the world, they also represent a new generation of hope that grew-up with recycling and a broader awareness about the environment, global warming, nuclear threats, and humanitarian issues affecting their world. This demographic also offers a fresh set of eyes, attitudes, and opportunities to roadmap key solutions on creating engaging sustainability strategies for their future.
The presentation is based on Label Networks’ Studies tracking a series of questions posed to America’s youth that had to do with their concerns about the environment, humanitarian issues, greenwashing, brand transparency, and thrift/vintage buying habits among many other top issues. The results reveal how much this marketplace is concerned, but also why brands, non-profits, retailers, and industry leaders need to understand how this new generation thinks and acts on such topics in order to create relevant and viable sustainability plans for their future.
Overall, this presentation is intended for those seeking insight from a new angle—from the lifestyle perspectives from the marketplace itself regarding the growing importance of sustainability and how it will ultimately affect our world through the actions of future demographics.
