The conference will focus on how apparel, textile and sewn products manufacturers, brands, retailers and suppliers can take advantage of the tangible opportunities of consumer demand for domestic products and services.

Made in the USA

With a theme Made in the USA is Back: Seize the Opportunity!, the event agenda will provide attendees with informative and thought-provoking presentations and panel discussions covering important industry issues, such as workforce training, technology, health insurance, governmental regulations and trade issues.

 “The opportunities for US companies are stronger now than at any time in recent history. With consumers taking more interest in US-made and higher quality products, retailers and their suppliers have responded by reshoring significant programs and ramping up domestic production of textiles, apparel and other sewn products,” said Sarah Friedman, SEAMS Executive Director.

While in recent years our conference dealt more with how to prepare for these opportunities, this year we are focused on how attendees can take advantage of the real and tangible opportunities in front of them. We invite all industry executives, professionals and entrepreneurs to take part in this important discussion.”

Networking opportunities

SEAMS Conference attendees will also be offered a number of networking opportunities, including company introductions, a products/services display area, special networking receptions, group meals and ample breaks.

Social events will include a putting contest and golf outing on 23 October. SEAMS Members will also receive an association business update and elect new officers at this meeting.
