The brands will be doing a presentation today, as well as they're going to be available for some Q&A, each of the 3 larger brands, I should say. All too often, you end up having to speak to me, and me trying to have to communicate to you what our brands are about, there is nobody better than to speak to you - to speak to you about the essence of the brands than the brands themselves. The second goal for today, and this is an important one, is to share our brand leadership teams with the external community. I believe you'll agree with me, as you walk around today, we've done an amazing job at doing just that.
These were vacated, old, beat-up buildings when Dick first came down here, and his vision was to create an incredibly useful, creative and inspirational environment to help us attract and retain the best talent in the industry. I can tell you that there is very few people that know more about that Navy Yard, more about our home office and more about Urban than Freeman.Īs you walk around this campus, it is a direct result of the vision of our chairman and founder, Dick Hayne. Hopefully, many of you had the - took the opportunity to join our Chief Operating Officer, Freeman Zausner, who I believe is around somewhere on a tour that was offered earlier today. Our first goal was to share with you our incredible home office space. I'm going to just speak to you real quick about our agenda and how the day is going to flow and then a couple of the goals that we would like to accomplish today, and then I'm going to hand it over to the Urban Outfitters brand. This is our first go-around and investor day, so there's a lot of topics that we did want to cover. Weather permitting, we are going to move around a bit today. So we have what we believe is a fantastic day planned for you today. Wait, there's a couple more people coming in. We appreciate you spending the time and sharing your afternoon with us. I'm Frank Conforti, our Chief Financial Officer, and I couldn't be more proud to be standing here in front of you today and welcome to you to our first ever URBN Investor Day. Hello, and welcome to our home office here in the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
Oona is very obsessive about time and she just told me it's already 2 after 1:00, so we need to get started. So we're going to do the best we can to get started on time.
So we have a busy day planned for you today.
