Remodista is pleased to announce that we're opening our online community, Help a Leader Out (HALO), to the public with the mission to attract more and more global pioneer thinkers!

Our HALO community has been in beta testing this past year, and we now have about 300 leaders participating. HALO's purpose is to educate brands, cultivate leaders, and connect globally looking at the future of business.

If you are a forward-thinking leader in retail, technology, finance, or any other part of business, please join us in the HALO community.

Our Women2Watch honorees have spoken at over 100 keynotes and panels around the world and in the US since we launched the program in 2016.

It's your turn.

Are you or someone you know an influential woman who is driving innovation in online and brick-and-mortar retail? Remodista is now accepting nominations for our 2019 Women2Watch in Business Disruption!

Nominations close on November 15. Members of our retail committee will reach out to nominees after the nomination period ends.

Our fundraiser for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is live until October 5, and we'd like to invite you to participate in our online auction benefitting St. Jude.

​We're auctioning off the two Spirit of St. Jude award winner gift bags—each with a retail value worth over $2000.

All proceeds will benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, a leading children's hospital pioneering research and treatments for kids with cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Because more than 75% of their funding comes from generous donors, St. Jude has the freedom to focus on what matters most — saving kids regardless of their financial situation.

This month, we're excited to feature Kayte Malik, founder and CEO of Dresscode Tech, in our Women2Watch spotlight! Kayte will be joining us in this year's Innovation Lab as one of the many forward-thinkers who have broken new ground with wearables, accessories, technology and solutions. Kayte's company, Dresscode Tech, is leveraging the world of fashion accessories to introduce girls to the world of coding. We can't wait to hear from Kayte and the other innovators in the iLab in New York on September 20th!

Below is that list. Enjoy our HALO community top picks:
