SPESA to Host Its First Ever Virtual Executive Conference Later This Month

By SPESA

Raleigh, NC – SPESA (Sewn Products Equipment & Suppliers of the Americas) announced in September that registration was open for its 2020 Virtual Executive Conference, taking place October 29 & 30. The two-day event is free for both members and nonmembers to attend.

The 2020 conference will focus on the Past, Present, and Future of the Sewn Products Industry which seems appropriate as SPESA celebrates its 30th anniversary and looks towards a new future post-pandemic. This year's key topics will be technology, exploring how it comes into play during manufacturing, within product, and at retail, and supply chains, looking at how they have changed in the last year and what to expect moving forward. The conference will also touch on the global economic outlook moving into 2021 and beyond, and the potential ramifications of the upcoming U.S. elections.

“I think we can all agree this year has been like no other,” said SPESA President, Michael McDonald. “As our members and the industry navigate new roads ahead, we want to be a valued resource along the way. While I’ll miss seeing folks in-person, I do look forward to gathering virtually and sharing insights with leaders across the industry.”

The conference will feature a total of four hours of education spread across two days, with a few fun surprises sprinkled throughout. As always, the conference is open to not only SPESA members, but to anyone interested in learning more about the current issues, trends, and policies impacting the global sewn products industry.
