2021 SJ HK Summit Brochure
As COVID-19 first raged across the globe, focus quickly turned to supply chains, which were strained—and sometimes paralyzed—by closures, raw material deficiencies, and new health and safety measures. One year later, the pandemic continues to reshape consumer expectations and accelerate retail trends, necessitating major overhauls in upstream operations. Join us for Sourcing Journal’s virtual Hong Kong Sourcing Summit as we discuss how apparel is battling back from the impact of the global health crisis while addressing the industry’s many pre-existing conditions. Industry insiders will provide insights on how relationships between both countries and supply chain partners must rebuild post crisis; the ways in which factories need to remake themselves for smaller MOQs, faster turns and more sustainable operations to remain competitive; and how to create resilience to survive the inevitable next threat. The Hong Kong Sourcing Summit is Sourcing Journal’s opportunity to dig deeper into the supply chain, focusing on suppliers’ perspectives on where the industry is headed. Past speakers have included executives from Alibaba, Gap, Brandix, Esquel, Asos, Lever Style, Newtimes, Saitex, Luen Thai, McKinsey & Company, PwC, AlixPartners and Synergies Worldwide.

Sustainability FAQs Workshop<br />
July <strong>2021</strong><br />
With sustainability finally occupying an<br />
equal seat at the table at fashion firms, it’s<br />
more important than ever for supply chain<br />
partners at every level to be educated on<br />
the latest terms, metrics, technology, reporting<br />
and goals. It’s a tall task given the<br />
rate at which climate and environmental<br />
science changes—especially for those<br />
outside sustainability-specific roles. This<br />
workshop will provide a deep dive on today’s<br />
key areas, giving attendees the context<br />
they need to apply these concepts to<br />
their jobs and responsibilities.<br />
Sustainability Quick Wins<br />
Workshop<br />
September <strong>2021</strong><br />
Pivoting the apparel industry from one of<br />
the planet’s top polluters to a responsible<br />
agent of change is a major undertaking,<br />
spanning raw materials through last-mile<br />
logistics. It’s hard to know where to start,<br />
especially given the often resource-intensive<br />
task of instituting climate-friendly<br />
operations. For fashion firms paralyzed by<br />
the scale of the challenge, this workshop<br />
will provide insight into actionable steps<br />
that don’t demand huge time or monetary<br />
investments.<br />
Sourcing <strong>Summit</strong> New York<br />
October 19, <strong>2021</strong><br />
Join us in person for the New York edition<br />
of our Sourcing <strong>Summit</strong>, the leading apparel<br />
supply chain event, drawing the C-Suite,<br />
directors and managers from brands,<br />
retailers, factories, agents, compliance<br />
agencies and service providers. This year’s<br />
event will take on even greater urgency as<br />
we pause to assess how well the industry<br />
has adopted the sustainability, efficiency<br />
and collaborative initiatives needed to embrace<br />
the new normal and weather continued<br />
uncertainty.
WELCOME<br />
Seizing Opportunities<br />
Following a year of upheaval and turmoil,<br />
Sourcing Journal is returning to Hong Kong<br />
(virtually) for “Recovery & Reinvention.” This<br />
<strong>Summit</strong> will feature speakers and panelists with<br />
the task of illuminating the path forward in a<br />
profitable (and sustainable) manner.<br />
Despite the myriad headwinds and obstacles<br />
we all face—from canceled orders to logistics<br />
issues to soaring input costs—I believe this<br />
is an unparalleled moment of opportunity<br />
for those willing to be uncomfortable and<br />
embrace change.<br />
Anyone who has been listening to me these<br />
past 12 months knows one theme I repeatedly<br />
return to is inventory. It’s not a new concern,<br />
but it has become the most crucial factor for<br />
our businesses. The customer wants in 24 hours<br />
what takes 12 months to produce and deliver.<br />
Meanwhile, we all want to be more sustainable<br />
with less inventory and waste, and many have<br />
adjusted their models accordingly. The question<br />
remains, however, if any real lessons have been<br />
learned. Has any real change been implemented,<br />
or did we just do in survival mode what had to<br />
be done, only to revert to our less-disciplined,<br />
short-sighted ways when normalcy returns?<br />
As Andrew Grove, the former CEO of Intel, said<br />
in one of my favorite books “Only the Paranoid<br />
Survive,” “If you’re wrong, you will die. But most<br />
companies don’t die because they are wrong;<br />
most die because they don’t commit themselves.<br />
They fritter away their valuable resources while<br />
attempting to make a decision. The greatest<br />
danger is in standing still.” We must take action.<br />
Toward that end, today’s conversations will<br />
tackle a wide range of concerns, from preparing<br />
for the next black swan event, to navigating the<br />
uncertain waters of trade, to adapting your<br />
supply chain to handle the new normal of smaller<br />
MOQs and tighter delivery timelines.<br />
The focus is on moving forward and seizing<br />
opportunity. There is no alternative. Either<br />
we are moving forward together, or we’re just<br />
‘standing still.’<br />
