Apart from evolving design trends, the fashion industry continues to be shaped by digital transformation. PI Apparel’s Fashion Technology Show is where leading brands, retailers, and tech providers meet to discuss the opportunities and challenges defining the industry’s future.
This summer, the Fashion Tech Show returns to the heart of midtown Manhattan at Center 415 on July 28–29, 2026. The event will explore how AI, Digital Product Creation (DPC), and connected workflows are reshaping the way brands design, develop, and deliver products.
The agenda is focused on practical innovation rather than hype with insightful keynotes, interactive roundtable sessions, panel discussions, and networking opportunities.
Triple Tree Solutions is proud to participate as one of the event's main sponsors. Leading our presence at the show are Wayne McMann (US Director of Business Development), Tauseef Rehman (Chief Operating Officer), Imran Saeed (Head of Commercial Operations), and Afrah Wyne (Product Manager).
We will engage with professionals, technology experts, and industry leaders while showcasing how QUONDA, ColorDesQ, TrackIT, and VMAN help apparel and textile businesses improve quality, streamline operations, strengthen collaboration, and enhance visibility across the product lifecycle.

Since its launch in 2013, PI Apparel has become one of the leading communities exploring the impact of technology on fashion. Through its global conference series, the platform brings together professionals to exchange ideas, share real-world experiences, and accelerate innovation across the apparel value chain.
PI Apparel hosts Fashion Technology Shows throughout the year in London (Spring), New York (Summer), and Los Angeles (Fall). The two-day New York edition places a strong emphasis on product development, with this year's agenda centered around the following four key themes.
Explores how AI is delivering real value across the apparel value chain, where it falls short, and what it takes to build trusted, well-governed AI solutions that can scale.
Examines why some DPC initiatives struggle and how clear standards, defined ownership, and better decision-making can help brands build digital workflows that maximize the value of DPC.
Highlights why successful digital transformation depends as much on people as technology. This theme explores how leadership, clearly defined roles, and incentives influence the success of digital adoption.
Unpacks how compliance laws, supply chain traceability, and environmental impact shape product design and development. Will also touch on how accountability is now essential from the earliest stages of the product lifecycle.
Across two action-packed days, attendees can expect a balanced mix of keynote presentations, expert panels, workshops, think tanks, startup showcases, and networking sessions.
Focuses on AI-powered product development, Digital Product Creation strategies, startup innovation, design workflows, regulatory readiness, and interactive roundtables. Sessions include case studies from leading brands such as H&M, Gap Inc., and JD Sports, alongside discussions on AI-enabled design, retail transformation, and the future of digital product development.
Shifts toward scaling digital transformation across organizations. Topics include connected product data, AI leadership, standardizing 3D workflows, reducing product development timelines, leadership for transformation, custom-fit automation, and collaborative discussions on overcoming industry challenges. Dedicated networking breaks and one-to-one meetings throughout both days provide valuable opportunities to connect with peers and technology partners.
The interactive roundtable sessions offer attendees an opportunity to participate in open discussions on a wide range of topics aligned with the event's four core themes. Led by professionals from leading fashion brands, these sessions cover areas such as AI adoption, Digital Product Creation, product development, digital fit, sustainability, leadership, and organizational change. Attendees can exchange experiences, discuss common challenges, and gain practical insights from industry peers in a collaborative setting.
