Sourcing Journal wrapped its annual Fall Summit held in New York, celebrating SJ’s 15th year in business and titled “SJ15: Past, Present and Future.” The event tackled trade issues and industry turmoil, not to mention Trump’s proposed tariffs, the scope of which remain uncertain.
In this episode of WWD Voices, Lauren Parker, director of SJ and Fairchild Studios, chats with Peter Sadera, Sourcing Journal’s editor in chief, about the summit’s highlights and its accompanying Companion Report, which recaps the event and also “continues the conversation.”
