Where Fashion Visionaries Meet Technological Mastery

PI Apparel is where the pulse of fashion meets the pace of technology. Since 2015 our West Coast event has convened leaders and visionaries to explore the technological changes revolutionising the industry.

For 2 immersive days, join your peers to discuss the transformative power of technology on the iconic Sunset Boulevard. Whether you're looking to redefine design, understand AI, or champion green initiatives, this is the event for every forward-thinking fashion maven.

 

 

DPC

Digital product creation is not just a trend; it's the new industry standard. Deep-dive into the tools, techniques and strategies that are radically changing the way apparel and footwear are designed and developed.

AI

The transformative potential of AI is hard to overstate with generative AI set to impact the entire fashion value chain. Identify the threats and opportunities this brings and be part of the AI conversation that will no doubt change your business.

Scaling Assets

It is imperative to scale across the value chain. In this stream we will explore the most pressing hurdles, including external buy-in; in-house education; systems interoperability; advancements in digital materials; and how best to manage your digital assets as you move from design-only to consumer-facing applications.

RECENT TESTIMONIALS

The PI Apparel events are remarkable for the opportunities to hear from great speakers on topical content as well as one-on-one meetings with colleagues, vendors and thought leaders. This is THE event to attend for brands, educators and anyone who is looking for new and emerging technologies, concepts and inspiration.

Independent Consultant, Torrid

PI Apparel is positioned to lead by the industry to a path of collaboration among technology partners, brands, and academia. Academia is committed to educate students for the industry, it is no brainer that this collaboration will result in win-win. Otherwise there will always be a skills gap. PI Apparel can change that narrative.

I enjoyed this event. It was great to see so many tech companies together in one place. I especially enjoyed the case study sessions with 3D users. My team ended up dividing up and sharing our learning later - I will be watching the replays on YouTube for many of the sessions!
