Webinar: Beyond Compliance: Unlocking Value from Multi-Tier Traceability The regulatory pressure on apparel and footwear brands has never been greater. Requirements like the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), and the upcoming EU Digital Product Passport (EUDPP) are forcing brands to look deeper into their supply chains more than ever before, and the clock is ticking.   In this session, Infor Nexus and AAFA will break how traceability is a business asset that enables material visibility and verification, surfaces financial risks, and demonstrates the responsible sourcing that consumers and regulators expect.

Webinar: Stop Letting Unsold Inventory Destroy Your Margins Returns, excess stock, and last season collections are increasingly shaping both profitability and sustainability outcomes. While the volume of unsold goods continues to grow, many brands still default to recycling or disposal - missing opportunities to recover value and extend product lifecycles. A strategic approach to disposition is now essential. But building one requires more than just access to channels; it demands the right operational model, partner ecosystem, and decision-making framework to balance cost, control, and customer expectations. With this session, gain practical insights on how to structure your disposition network, select the right recovery pathways, and turn unsold and returned goods into a source of both commercial and environmental value.

Webinar: Inside the 2026 Oritain Supply Chain Intelligence Report According to the 2026 Oritain Supply Chain Intelligence Report, 90% of brands surveyed had at least one risk-consistent result in 2025. That’s a 33.7% increase in risk-consistent results since the comparable Oritain report in 2024. At the same time, 60% of consumers are now actively avoiding products with untrustworthy origins, and only 3% trust marketing claims, pointing to a growing demand for proof that meets their expectations for transparency.   In this session, Oritain presents valuable data points of their in-depth, proprietary industry survey, 2026 Oritain Supply Chain Intelligence Report, informed by the forensic verification of more than 5,000 garments and research with over 2,000 consumers, 300 industry professionals and 122 suppliers.
