Industry Leaders, Strategic Partnerships
In its tenth consecutive year, ATSC continues its long-standing collaboration with the Canadian Apparel Federation. Executive Director Bob Kirke will host a high-level panel discussion addressing North American trade dynamics with Julie Hughes, President of the United States Fashion Industry Association (USFIA). Mr. Kirke will also deliver his annual “State of the Industry” keynote, providing insights from an industry-leader with a uniquely Canadian perspective.
“We look forward to the 10th edition of Apparel Textile Sourcing Canada. ATSC is the only credible venue in Canada for Canadian brands and retailers to meet directly with foreign vendors. In an era of confusing trade dynamics and numerous business challenges, ATSC is a unique opportunity for business partners to meet and build their businesses together,” Mr. Kirke said.
“As has been the case since the first ATSC show, the Canadian Apparel Federation will present its annual international trade policy update at ATSC 2025. This presentation will once again be an important feature for Canadian importers and their foreign suppliers. With so many changes in trade policy emanating from the US, this promises to be especially relevant presentation this year.”
USFIA’s Ms. Hughes added, “We look forward to heading back to Toronto for the 10th Apparel Textile Sourcing Canada. During these unpredictable times, it is more important than ever for those of us representing the U.S. fashion industry to meet with Canadian brands and retailers and the key suppliers to the Canadian market. On behalf of the U.S. Fashion Industry Association, we will share our insights about U.S. policy and how we all can work together to support ‘Fashion Made Possible by Global Trade’.”
