Registration is open for our 2026 Advancements in Manufacturing Technologies Conference, taking place in Columbus, Ohio. The event will be hosted at the Columbus Fashion Alliance’s (CFA) new flagship location, The LOOM, a massive, multi-use innovation hub.

​

One of SPESA's keystone events, this annual conference is designed specifically for manufacturers, brands, retailers, suppliers, and industry stakeholders to learn about new innovations and advancements in manufacturing sewn products.​​​

SPESA is thrilled to be co-hosting the ISAIC Honors 2026 event! Join us as we celebrate the unsung champions of the domestic manufacturing world. You can learn more about the event here. ​

​

Hosted in ISAIC’s new space at the Taubman Center on April 23, 2026, from 5-8 PM, ISAIC Honors is more than just an awards ceremony — it’s a gathering of visionaries, creators, and collaborators committed to advancing a more sustainable and equitable industry.

Save the Date! Our flagship annual event will take place in San Antonio, Texas. We're very excited about getting back to the Lone Star State, especially after the success of last year's Advancements Conference in Austin. Stay tuned for more information! In the meantime, you can read what you missed at the 2025 Executive Conference in Chicago.  

Over the past several years, SPESA has prioritized getting the industry together during our After Hours networking events. These happy hour events are held in different markets across the U.S. and are designed to engage the local industry within that specific market. 

​

SPESA has also joined the Alphabet Soup Collective and is a proud partner in planning the well-known and celebrated "Shindig" events. We look forward to continuing our work with the "Collective" and helping to throw the next Shindig!
