Webinar: Tariffs Today, Unknown Threats Tomorrow - How to Plan for The Global Supply Chain Shift |
|
|
Fashion is no stranger to disruption, but the industry has now stepped into a new era where almost nothing is guaranteed. Recent events have shown just how quickly the fundamentals of creating, making, and selling products can shift in one market and cascade across to others. The United States is now beginning to see how far these changes can alter the core mathematics and the decision-making principles at the heart of brand and retail business models.
While the global industry reckons with tariffs and trade conflicts in the short term, these signposts are pointing to a deeper, more durable shift - one that requires American and global brands and their overseas partners to rethink not just their sourcing strategies, but their entire approaches to the future - and one that will require new technology ecosystems to help get them there. |
Attendees of this webinar will learn: About the degree of uncertainty in fashion supply chains, how short term worldwide disruption will shape regionalized transformation - and how industry professionals should be prioritizing their responses. From experienced insiders, with perspectives that span both supply and demand, how the balance of global trade has shifted, and how the tangible impacts to their businesses will start to manifest. How technology solutions are being used to provide an uplift in preparing for and acting against a future defined by unpredictability.
