Backstage with Back Market: A Circularity Case Study

November 18, 2025
6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
America/New_York

Back Market Retail Store

449 Broadway, New York, NY 10013

Join Sandra Goldmark, Associate Dean for Impact at the Columbia Climate School, for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at Back Market’s first-ever retail store and a conversation with company leaders on how circularity drives innovation, business growth, and climate solutions.

Circularity is one of the most powerful—and underutilized—tools in our climate toolkit. Circular business models reduce waste and emissions while creating jobs and fueling sustainable growth. At this event, we’ll explore how Back Market, a global leader in refurbished technology, is transforming the electronics industry through repair, reuse, and design for longevity.

You’ll hear directly from:

  • Joy Howard, Chief Marketing Officer (named one of Forbes’ most influential CMOs in 2020)
  • John Goodwin, VP of Global Brand
  • Arnaud Berney, VP of Global Seller Success & Operations
  • Moderated by Sandra Goldmark, Columbia Climate School

The evening will include a tour of the Soho retail store, a panel discussion, and drinks and networking with the Back Market executive team. Attendees will also receive a special discount toward a Back Market purchase.

Registration is limited and confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis. Please RSVP using this Google Form.
