Presentations:
Mon | July 21 | Chemistry of Sustainability: Avoiding Risk, Regret and Redundancy
As sustainability expectations rise, so do the demands on chemical management. You're not just accountable for product safety, but for what happens deep in the supply chain—and beyond the point of sale. This session breaks down what’s changing in global chemical regulations, why restricted substances are more than a compliance issue and how they affect everything from recycling to reputational risk. You'll leave with a smarter approach to chemical compliance that strengthens sustainability goals without reinventing the wheel—or taking shortcuts that could cost more in the long run.

Tues | July 22 | 3D Garment Development with Diversity: Matching Avatars to Real-World Bodies
Effective virtual garments start with realistic foundations—beginning with the body itself. This session explores how diverse body morphologies, including toddlers, children, plus-size and pregnant bodies, impact 3D design. From technical product development to compelling visuals for e-commerce, accurate body data is essential. Learn how to build avatars that truly reflect your target groups, and how AI can further enhance virtual designs.
