The United States Fashion Industry Association (USFIA) will host the 37th Annual Apparel Importers Trade & Transportation Conference on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York City. The event is co-hosted with FIT’s Jay and Patty Baker School of Business and Technology, International Trade and Marketing Department.
This flagship conference brings together fashion industry professionals from across the supply chain – including sourcing, trade compliance, logistics, marketing, and sustainability – for a full day of insights, networking, and strategic discussion.
Today there is a lot of uncertainty for fashion brands and retailers. No one knows what the new tariff regime will look like, and no one knows the impact on consumer confidence. USFIA President Julia K. Hughes says, “This conference is a critical opportunity for industry leaders to stay informed and connected. We will hear from leading experts about tariffs, sourcing diversification, compliance challenges, and opportunities for circularity and sustainability in the supply chain.”
Featured sessions will cover:
● Tariffs and Trade: What’s on the Horizon for Brands and Retailers
● Sourcing Outlook and Trends for 2026
● Traceability and Tariff Compliance Strategies for Brands and Retailers
● Circularity and Fashion Innovation
● Industry Insights on Made in USA and the Global Outlook
