Thought leaders from Champion, Ralph Lauren, PVH And more to attend PI Apparel New York

PI Apparel’s highly anticipated return to New York is almost upon us! Due to high demand this year, attendees joined a waitlist for a chance to claim one of the limited spaces available. Although perhaps not as stressful as attempting to secure a Taylor Swift Eras Tour ticket, demand has been high; we’re super excited to see what this year has in store.
The event brings together visionaries and innovators from across the Fashion Technology space to explore the transformative power of technology in the fields of product design and development. Attendees will engage in discussions on AI, Digital Product Creation, and the scaling of assets across the value chain, promising a blend of technology showcases, creative problem solving, and the sharing of tangible industry expertise and advice.

Featured sessions include:

• From Heritage to Horizon: Digitalizing LVMH and Preserving its Timeless Legacy – LVMH
• Clarifying the Vision: Defining What You Are Solving For – Champion
• Fireside Chat: Creating Concepts, Developing Capabilities, and Cultivating Culture – Footlocker
• Immersive Virtual Reality 3D Experiences for Sustainable Conservation to Protect the World’s Vital Forests and Indigenous Lands – Natureverse
• The Choreography of Transformational Projects – Ralph Lauren

The current edition is set to stand out from its predecessors, with some newly added formats to the schedule that we tested at its European sister event earlier this year:

• ‘Start-Up Tech Sparks’: We will bring together a number of exciting start-ups to showcase their new and emerging technology offerings. In this session, each company will take to the stage to share their game-changing ideas and will have just 8 minutes to dazzle the audience. The start-ups attending include: PTTRNS.ai, Bodidata, Bandicoot Imaging Sciences, Athena Studio, ZIZR and PIC 3D Design House.
• Roundtables: Organized as 1-hour interactive slots,attendees will have the opportunity to talk in depth with a smaller group of colleagues and peers around a pre-determined topic. Available to attend on both days, attendees will have the chance to have detailed discussions with experts from Ralph Lauren, Champion, Carhartt and more.
• Health & Wellbeing: We know the importance of health and wellbeing here at PI Apparel and so on the morning of day 2 members of the PI Apparel team will be leading a leisurely run through the iconic Central Park. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or a beginner, the run is open to everyone and will be a great chance to socialize with fellow attendees outside of the event venue.

Who will be in the audience? This is your exclusive opportunity to forge connections with influential peers from some of the fashion industry’s leading companies, including:

• Design Director, AdoreMe
