Following what feels like an age of uncertainty for physical events, The Interline is delighted to announce our participation in the upcoming Digital Futures: Industry Summit 2022. The event is presented by the Department of Fashion Business and Technology at The University of Manchester on 30th March 2020, and will see global experts in the digital fashion, retail and manufacturing industries join together to educate the next generation on what’s possible.
Hosted by The Interline’s own Ben Hanson, the Summit is positioned around the continual ‘META-morphosis’ of fashion, retail, materials innovation and manufacturing. It will connect future talent with industry leaders to facilitate new ideas and examine the forces – driven largely by technological advancements – reshaping our global industry.
The event will explore a multitude of topics that will no doubt pique our readers’ interests – from AI, VR and the blockchain, to e-prototyping, and 3D textile innovations. Keynote speaker for the Summit is Founder of The Interline, and CEO of WhichPLM, Mark Harrop, who brings more than four decades of industry expertise to deliver exhaustively researched education to today’s retail technology professionals.
