Two International Trade and Marketing (ITM) faculty and a Production Management faculty member recently participated in the Product Innovation Apparel Supply Chain Forum, a New York–based industry event aimed at sourcing and logistics professionals in the fashion business.
On Nov. 28, Yelena Mogelefsky, ITM, spoke on a panel titled “Evolution of Supply Chain Strategy in an Unpredictable Market.” Sharing the stage with faculty from California College of the Arts and Universal Standard, she discussed how to apply lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic to future sourcing challenges.
The following day, Joseph Altieri, Production Management, offered the solo workshop, “Working with External Partners to Optimize Supply Chain Operations.” Sonja Chapman, ITM, spoke on a panel later that day titled “Expecting the Unexpected: Navigating Unpredictability and Disruption in Fashion Supply Chains,” where she shared the stage with executives from LT Apparel Group, Moose Knuckles, and PVH.
