Davidson Companies' 7th Annual Holiday Beauty & Wellness Bus Tour ✨ We had an incredible time visiting the offices of leading beauty brands in New York City to discuss consumer trends, the holiday shopping season, and outlooks for 2025.

To Be, Or Not To Be? Lately, our FinTech team has been closely following the increasing trend of clients moving away from technology providers that only offer software, and towards providers that also offer services to make the software more efficient to use and able to integrate with other adjacent systems. To be, or not to be — a software provider that also offers services — is no longer the question. For much of our industry, it is the future.
