The Apparel Textile Sourcing Miami (ATSM) will introduce a range of new sections, including machine demonstrations, a technical textiles section and a footwear sourcing pavilion. The event will host a number of apparel industry professionals, from buyers and sellers to supply chain executives, from the U.S. and Latin America

This year ATSM will be held one week later than originally planned. The new dates, May 28-30, 2019 will coincide with MiamiFashion Week. ATSM made its debut in 2018, and in its sophomore year, the event will double in size, with around 12,000 industry professionals expected to attend the event in South Florida.

There will be a special focus on how advancements in manufacturing grant microbrands the chance to add more design seasons to their collections and welcome new designers into the market. ATSM 2019 will examine the future of retail through the lens of microbrands and their influence on fashion’s transactional infrastructure, from raw materials to retail.
