Apparel Textile Sourcing Canada will be held from August 17 to 19, 2020. This is a sourcing event focused on the North American apparel, textile, and fashion sectors. ATSC 2020 is expected to be the largest edition so far, with many new additions to respond to a constantly changing geopolitical environment, tariffs and trade agreements that are creating uncertainty for the apparel and textile market and having a trickle-down effect on retail sales. The event will feature international exhibits and delegations from over 30 countries and connect these international producers directly to the apparel, textile and fashion markets of North America. It will be attended by more than 300 apparel and textile companies and offer numerous interactive events and industry connection opportunities. Insights needed to navigate the international sourcing process will be made available on two stages daily and be provided by experts, both foreign and domestic. Attendees will include apparel and fabric buyers, sourcing directors, merchandisers, retailers, department stores, and designers from North America and around the world.

The seminars will cover sustainability, compliance and technology, focusing on a range of speakers, both from Canada and abroad. The ATS Fashion Lab will encompass e-commerce, retail technologies, the apparel industry 101, digital marketing, product development, and fashion law brand development.
