Lightning Talk

What? Exploring Inclusive Customer Experiences in Digital Fashion

Who? Hamedeh Jafari, Applied Scientist at Zalando Switzerland, Size & Fit team

Join an engaging lightning talk followed by an interactive discussion on the role of AI in fostering a more inclusive fashion environment at Zalando.

Participants are encouraged to bring someone with a diverse perspective (e.g., different gender, nationality, etc.) to enrich the discussion.

The discussion will cover several important questions:

• What factors make online shoppers feel acknowledged versus excluded?
• In what ways can personalization enhance the representation of diverse customer experiences?
• How can it be ensured that AI contributes to a more inclusive and sustainable online shopping experience?
• What potential biases exist in avatar and virtual fitting technologies?

There's an opportunity to propose topics or speakers for future lightning talks. Interested individuals can reach out via email at hello5050world@gmail.com.

Hello 50:50 World

This initiative explores the feasibility of achieving gender equality and diversity in technology beyond isolated discussions. It advocates for a collective effort toward equality by including everyone in the conversation about diversity in tech at the Hello 50:50 world meetups.

Participants are encouraged to invite someone with a different perspective (e.g., gender, nationality, etc.) to ensure rich discussions. Both participants need to secure tickets for better attendance management.
