FASHION'S AI PROBLEM ISN'T AI

Description

A CONVERSATION EXPLORING THE FASHION INDUSTRY TODAY AND WHAT LEADERS NEED TO DO TO BUILD AN AGENTIC ENTERPRISE.

The fashion industry has a lot to gain from AI, from better demand forecasting to reduced waste. Most businesses have already taken the plunge, but proper adoption and ROI are still catching up.

The gap between AI investment and AI returns is one of the most important conversations in fashion right now, and one that rarely gets the honest, peer-level discussion it deserves.

That's exactly what we're setting out to change at this exclusive roundtable organized by Fortude and Infor,  in partnership with the Canadian Apparel Federation for C-suite and senior leadership at fashion brands.

What to expect:

  • A candid, peer-level conversation: no product pitches, no vendor presentations
  • Perspectives from leaders who are navigating this challenge first-hand, including a senior voice from a leading fashion business who will speak openly about their own AI journey: What's worked, what hasn't, and what they'd do differently
  • Real-time polling so the conversation is shaped by the room, not a pre-set agenda
  • An exclusive AI Readiness Benchmark Report shared with all attendees after the session

Who it's for:
Senior leaders at footwear and fashion brands who are shaping how AI gets adopted across their business.
