THIS MONTH'S SPEAKER

J. Kirby Best - CEO of BMC ( Bespoke Manufacturing Company) and President & CEO of iCreate.Fashion
On-Demand Manufacturing - Revolutionizing the Fashion Industry. Learn more about the latest technology that experts say will sustainably revolutionize the fashion industry, and will enable apparel entrepreneurs to compete with big brands.

On-demand manufacturing uses automated technology to make manufacturing more efficient and more affordable. This technology enables apparel entrepreneurs to sustainably manufacture custom designs, one at a time, instead of overproducing overseas which usually results in excess inventory that ends up in the landfill or incinerated.

Learn how Sherri and Kirby are putting Arizona on the fashion map by creating the first factory in N. America to offer the sustainable, technology-driven, apparel manufacturing solution where a garment is not made until purchased. It's a “Sell one-Make one” system. It offers customizable orders by fit and print. This factory offers on-demand print, cut, sew, pack and ship direct-to-consumer within 5-7 days.
