The Apparel Decoration Summit announces Kornit Digital and STAHLS’ as keynote sponsors of its inaugural event. Produced by PRINTING United Alliance and Apparelist, the summit is scheduled to take place June 12-14 in Nashville.

The Apparel Decoration Summit is an invitation-only, hosted buyer format that brings together industry-leading suppliers and decorators, providing valuable opportunities for attendees to source new solutions and glean insights from the “who’s who” in the garment decoration space. This will be accomplished through keynote sessions, user panels, focused breakout boardroom sessions, and numerous networking activities and receptions.

As keynote sponsors, STAHLS’ and Kornit will lead a diverse group of industry suppliers aimed at elevating the inaugural summit experience for industry executives looking to explore expansion opportunities and additional sources of revenue.

“Customer success is our mission,” explains Josh Ellsworth, executive vice president, sales and marketing, for STAHLS’. “We’re excited to spend time talking about the opportunities and growth plans of top apparel decorators. Heat transfer technology has grown exponentially over the past two to three years. We want to share how far heat printing has come and what it is solving today.”

Heat applied graphics are just one of the many technologies that will be represented during the Summit. This event is designed to reflect the true nature of the industry through the multi-technology approach required in today’s market.

Joining STAHLS’ as a keynote sponsor is Kornit, a manufacturer of digital printing equipment. “Kornit is excited to be a part of events like this one because seeing and feeling what’s possible with sustainable, on-demand digital production tends to make believers of those who’ve been skeptical (or simply don’t know these capabilities exist),” says Robert Zoch, marketing at Kornit. “Everyone wants to know what’s driving transformation of the apparel industry, and how to best capitalize on that transformation. By bringing together thought leaders, business leaders, creators, technology providers, and others to discuss these changes together, and see and feel what the industry has to offer, attendees leave better able to appreciate and act on those dynamics.”

Both keynote sponsors are excited about the information exchange that will take place during the Apparel Decoration Summit as well as the crucial networking connections that it will offer.

“It’s a great opportunity to network, and see what the industry has to offer,” Zoch states. “We’re happy to participate in such an extraordinary event, but proudest to lead as an innovator, determined to show producers, designers, consumers, and others just what’s possible with digital.”

“We want to tell our story, listen to feedback, and participate at the highest level,” states Ellsworth. “The variety of curated conversations, meetings, and networking opportunities will create an environment for everyone to walk away more informed to prepare their future strategy … We’re committed to the success of the people in the room and we know we’ll be a part of it.”
