but you can already register

This second track looks at how we can expand the digital design efforts that we made in the first track from inside the supply chain directly to the consumer. We will answer questions like: 

  • How can we use 3D designs/virtual prototypes that are consumer facing for more engaging digital marketing?
  • How can we use 3D designs for crowdsourcing sales before shoes have been manufactured to create better inventory efficiency?
  • How can we best create a digital workflow that allows for customization by the consumer—for size and/or aesthetics—within our current means of production?
  • Which other new digital tools could we apply to get the most marketing value from our digitization efforts?
