All Consuming: Retail, Technology and the Attention Economy

• Presenter: Jordyn Holman, NYT Business Reporter
• Description: In this New York Times Speaker Series, Business reporter Jordyn Holman will talk about retail, the attention economy, and the responsibility of CEOs to their customers. She will explore how customers are navigating an economy that depends on them. E-commerce once promised shoppers a wider variety of products than stores like Walmart, Target, or Macy's could offer, giving customers more control over what they buy. But recently, this power shift has changed. Technology now allows brands to reach customers at any time and in every part of their lives through platforms like TikTok, Instagram, emails, texts, and notifications. Companies are after more than just your money—they want your attention.
