The Mansion on Forsyth Park

Savannah, Georgia

Sponsored by:    Lawson        American & Efird

The wisdom of the crowd carries the AAPN meetings.

The following topics/issues will be talked about and discussed and by our attendees: 

• The State of the Textile/Apparel Industry (orders down for Fall by x% or holding steady?  What are retailers' volumes doing? Any changes in the supply chain with respect to credit terms?  Lead times?)
• Customs & Trade Updates (new administration's trade policies, customs enforcement, CPSIA, monetary policy) --  JON FEE, Alston & Bird LLP   click here for a copy of Mr. Fee's presentation
• Partnerships with Retailers (how do we define a successful retailer? how can we (AAPN members) help them be successfull? how can we get in to see a retailer?)

• An update on last Fall’s Economic Forum hosted by AAPN.
