October 20 | Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam  Join us on October 20 in Hồ Chí Minh City at the Reverie Saigon for the Vietnam: Apparel & Footwear Compliance Conference.    Vietnam’s role in global supply chains continues to evolve, bringing new challenges and opportunities for manufacturers. From shifting trade dynamics and growing compliance expectations to increasing focus on transparency, circularity, and renewable energy, the factors shaping sourcing decisions are becoming more complex. Staying competitive means understanding how these changes impact operations, partnerships, and future orders. Join us to explore what’s driving these shifts and what they mean for your business today.   Format note: This program is presented in English with full Vietnamese translation. Closed to press.
