1 June 2023 will mark one year since new vertical distribution laws came into effect in the EU and the UK. With these changes come the potential for a more dynamic approach to wholesale pricing, brand resale controls and the opportunity for brands to re-evaluate their e-commerce and distribution strategies.
 
We would like to invite you to attend K&L Gates and ACC Europe's event on Tuesday 7 March, in Milan, where a number of senior thought leaders in the consumer brands industry will lead a discussion on lessons learnt and key best practices. Discussion points will include:
