The second in our series of live panel discussions in association with Kornit Digital, manufacturers of advanced digital printing solutions.

‘Sketchpad to Shopping Bag: The Future of Fashion Production and Fulfilment’ continues the important debate around the future of the UK textile industry.

I’m joined by panellists from education, design, manufacturing and retail, as well as the Chief Marketing Officer of Kornit Digital.

• How COVID_19 has affected the industry
• Why big retailers need to change their buying model and re-look at their pricing and margins
