Getting even the simplest garment manufactured and into a consumer’s hands involves a complex labyrinth of trade policies, sourcing decisions, manufacturing technologies, sustainability hurdles, delivery developments, inventory management and more. And that doesn’t even include the post-sale challenges.
Join our Fall Summit in New York, titled “All the Right Moves,” where experts are on hand to analyze and offer solutions to the industry’s most challenging issues.
A sampling of panels:
Sourcing I: Sustainable Foundations
There’s no better indicator of the strengths and challenges facing our industry than to look at the upstream manufacturers that are the engine of commerce. Sustainability is at the core of this mission. From energy efficiency, to cleaner, traceable inputs and textiles, the demand for environmentally-friendly production has never been higher. As more scrutiny descends on the industry, this panel will outline best practices, workable solutions and pitfalls to avoid on your journey.
Inventory Issues Don’t Solve Themselves
Managing your inventory has always been crucial–even more so when budgets are tight—and consumers are counting their pennies. From demand forecasting strategies to managing markdowns and maximizing margins, this panel will highlight key tools and strategies to gain a 360-degree view of your process and ensure you have the right product at the right time at the right price.
The Politics of Trade
CAFTA, USMCA, AGOA… the acronyms can be confusing, but understanding how all these trade pacts affect the dynamics of our industry is critical. Add to that the extra uncertainty that comes along with an election year and planning and forecasting becomes an even more complex equation. Hear from the experts on where we are headed, what to keep an eye on regarding policy and how you can best be prepared.
