EVENT: Advanced Textiles Expo 2025

Posted Fri, Oct 24, 2025 in Sourcing Press Featured

Join me November 4-7 in Indianapolis for the 2025 Advanced Textiles Expo!

November 4th, 2025 - 4:35pm
I'll be chatting with industry colleagues as a panelist in "AI in Everyday Business: Real-World Use Cases from Industry Leaders." We'll discuss how AI is revolutionizing daily workflows—from marketing and design to sourcing, manufacturing, and product development.

November 7th, 2025 - 11:00am
I also have the honor of leading my own session, "From Technical Expert to Industry Leader: How to Build Your Influence and Lead with Your Expertise." Your expertise is a superpower, and it’s time to lead with it. In this session, we’ll explore how to leverage your technical skills to build influence and trust. Your unique position and specialized knowledge can influence a brand’s design, production, and profitability. You’ll learn how to communicate your ideas with clarity and build trust with your team, industry colleagues, and non-technical stakeholders—from clients to CEOs. Lean into your unique niche to build a lasting legacy, while finding ways to mentor and champion other women to strengthen our industry, build community, and advance your career.

Can't wait to see you there!
