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!
Senior Technical Designer, Digital, New Balance Athletics
The opportunity to network, learn and share with other apparel industry professionals working in 3D is so rewarding, this event was both confirmation that my team is on the right path and that a lot of us are in the same boats. A truly engaging and inspirational event! The fact that there were sessions going on constantly - I only wish we could have seen ALL the talks!
3D Creative Lead, Arcteryx
Today concludes a two day full immersion on #technology, #digital transformation and fashion at PI Apparel. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to speak with skilled professionals and people who are inspired and motivated to find a solution together to the various challenges that change brings. Digital transformation is a reality in the fashion world, and it is going at lightning speed; so our motto #foreverfaster has never been more appropriate.
