Former senior executive of Reebok and Nike, Marilyn Tam, a top leadership speaker and co-author of the just-released book ‘Soul Over Matter’, is on a mission to ensure today’s global business world is armed with the information it needs to continue to make good, socially responsible choices and avoid a repeat of past mistakes. Though her rise to the top of apparel sourcing industry was meteoric but she, will never forget her humble beginnings as a child labourer in Hong Kong making plastic flowers and embroidering needlepoint handbags.
Tam will share her experiences and trade secrets in her keynote address at the upcoming Apparel Textile Sourcing Canada (ATSC) show that makes its debut in Toronto from August 22-24 at the International Centre. Tam will be one of dozens of leading acclaimed international and Canadian industry and government experts who will provide visitors with valuable insights and up-to-date information needed to more easily and effectively navigate through the sourcing process, including merchandising, marketing, e-commerce, compliance and trade agreements over the three days of conference sessions.
ATSC is a first-of-its-kind event in Canada that would bring together hundreds of apparel and textile manufacturers from around the world including China, India, Bangladesh, Mexico, the U.S., Honduras, Peru, Japan, Taiwan and other countries.
Delivering an unprecedented platform for making global industry connections, the event will feature 200 international exhibits showcasing a wide variety of merchandise, from everyday apparel, professional clothing and leisure wear, to carpets, linens and towels, to fashion accessories, hats and socks.
