It&rsquo\;s the operational complexity underneath it &mdash\; data scattered across discon nected systems, reporting that drags on for days, and numbers no one fully trusts. No amount of AI fixes that until the foundation is right. \nIn Pa rt 2 of our executive series we go after that real problem: the complexity quietly eating into margin, speed and your team&rsquo\;s time, and what i t actually takes to fix it. You&rsquo\;ll hear from May Shaw at Vida Group International, who lived it, on what changed, with Fortude and Infor on t urning a fragmented foundation into one that&rsquo\;s ready for analytics and AI, and the Canadian Apparel Federation bringing a view from across th e industry and where brands are heading next. \n \nWhat we'll get into:\nT he Complexity Tax: How operational friction compounds as brands grow, and where it quietly costs you.\nFrom Chaos to Clarity: What it takes to move from scattered data to a single, trusted foundation.\nPractical AI: Where AI genuinely adds value once your groundwork is in place.\nYour Roadmap: P ractical steps to start fixing your foundation, no matter your current tec h maturity.\n \nWho it's for:Senior leaders at footwear and fashion brands who are shaping how AI gets adopted across their business.\n \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER\n\n--- This iCal file does *NOT* confirm registration.Event d etails subject to change. ---\n\n--- By Tendenci - The Open Source AMS for Associations ---\n SUMMARY:FASHION'S AI PROBLEM ISN'T AI: Using agentic AI to tackle operational complexity PRIORITY:5 CLASS:PUBLIC BEGIN:VALARM TRIGGER:-PT30M ACTION:DISPLAY DESCRIPTION:Reminder END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20261103T195455Z ORGANIZER: DTSTART:20270405T040000Z DTEND:20270410T035959Z LOCATION: TRANSP:OPAQUE SEQUENCE:0 UID:uid100@caf-fcv.ca DESCRIPTION:--- This iCal file does *NOT* confirm registration.\nEvent det ails subject to change. ---\nhttps://www.caf-fcv.ca/events/100/\n\nEvent T itle: Regional Forum on Due Diligence in the Garment and Footwear Sector i n Asia\nStart Date / Time: April 5, 2027, midnight America/Toronto\nLocati on: \nThe OECD will hold a Regional Forum on Due Diligence in the Garment and Footwear Sector in Asia in the week of 5 April 2027 hosted by the Roya l Government of Cambodia in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
