ICK HERE TO REGISTER\nHere&rsquo\;s the thing most fashion and footwear br
ands are getting wrong: their AI problem isn&rsquo\;t AI. 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

who are shaping how AI gets adopted across their business.\n \nCLICK HERE
