While Sareen will discuss how technology can help save time and money in meeting manufacturing demands, Seferian will examine why responsible sourcing is more important than ever in today’s world of instant communication. He will also explore what companies need to do in order to ensure business continuity and stay competitive, and how responsible sourcing impacts the bottom line.
Meanwhile, in the wake of the United Nations’ launch of the ‘UN Alliance on Sustainable Fashion’, a panel of top industry experts will discuss the implications for apparel businesses, and provide guidance on how companies can launch, convert and grow their sustainable operations.
Other speakers include Shahrooz Kohan, CEO of California-based fashion ERP software provider AIMS360; Laurie Pressman, vice president of the Pantone Color Institute; and Julie Hughes, president of the DC-based United States Fashion Industry Association (USFIA), which works to facilitate global trade for US-based brands, retailers, importers and wholesalers doing business internationally. Hughes will provide an update on the latest developments in global trade, tariff and non-tariff barriers, and new sourcing opportunities.
Presented free of charge, the sessions are expected to draw more than 4,000 local, national and international visitors who will attend ATSM to learn, source new innovations, and make connections with sourcing partners globally.
The event will take place on 28-30 May at the Mana Wynwood Convention Center in Miami.
