<blockquote><p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Understanding the risks and potential of AI is a key priority for the fashion industry and one that touches on so many of the challenges our members are facing. But with so many tools under the AI umbrella, and such rapid and far-reaching change, it can be challenging to keep on top of developments and cut through the noise to understand what we should and shouldn’t be doing, when and how. This conference is an unmissable opportunity to explore the topic from all angles and perspectives at what is a pivotal moment for the industry.”</span></span></span></p></blockquote>
