A lot has changed in the industry over the years—a global pandemic, generative AI, ramped up compliance legislation, to name a few. What hasn’t changed? Sourcing issues. Looking back at some of SJ’s previous Fall Summits, panels included headlines like “Alternatives to China,” “Political Dysfunction in the Supply Chain” and “Lowering Your Landed Costs.”

Also unchanged is the industry’s need for in-person meetings of the minds to exchange best practices and brainstorm solutions.

More from Sourcing Journal

Sourcing Journal’s Fall Summit—aka The Superbowl of Sourcing—continues to get the smartest C-Suite and key execs in the room to address short-term holiday logistics and map out long-term strategies.

Titled “All the Right Moves,” this year’s Fall Summit, taking place November 2 at Cipriani 42nd Street, will help companies formulate their respective sourcing, logistics and retail plans, ones that are strong-yet-agile, address the entire supply chain, and don’t sweep sustainability under the rug at the first sign of uncertainty. The Summit also dives into denim this year, with more denim industry experts than ever addressing this important category.

“Our annual summit has evolved into a must-attend event for anyone involved in the industry,” said Sourcing Journal’s editor in chief Peter Sadera. “Its holistic nature, from ‘dirt to shirt’ as we say, offers an invaluable opportunity to stay up to date and informed on all the key issues and technologies that will shape our landscape in the months and years to come.”
