For the second year running, The Pattern Maker is partnering with the Fashion Institute of Technology to bring together the brands, builders, and innovators shaping fashion tech's next chapter and this year's lineup is not one to miss.
We've put together two panels getting at the most top of mind topics for fashion leaders and fashion tech founders, plus a tech talk to dive deep on how the technology reshaping fashion production actually works.
Panel 1 — Beyond the Headlines: Why Getting AI Right for Fashion Is Harder Than It Looks and the Founders Fixing It
Founders and AI experts enabling AI across the fashion value chain will dig into what it really takes to build with this technology in a way that actually solves real problems, why the gap between the hype and the reality is wider than most people think, and what the path forward looks like for fashion brands and builders alike.
