Nolcha, the Business Platform for Fashion Entrepreneurs, Launches Fashion Business Conference in Association with LIM College
Industry leaders provide insight for small fashion business owners to navigate today's changing business landscape.
New York, NY, March 26, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Nolcha: Fashion Business Services continues to expand its business-to-business services devoted to fashion entrepreneurs with the debut of the Fashion Business Conference taking place 9:30am to 6:00pm on May 20th 2010 at LIM College; the nation's only college focused exclusively on the study of business and fashion.
The Fashion Business Conference, sponsored by Datafashion, will provide one full day of industry expert-led panels and thought-leadership discussions with those who define business strategy in the fashion market; including Long Nguyen, Fashion Director of Flaunt Magazine, Rick Weinstein, Director of Sales and Marketing for Searle NYC and Jennifer Evans, President of Evans Group International.
This unique event will deliver relevant content that is key to the independent fashion business owner focusing on retail, financials, imaging and branding, sourcing and manufacturing as well as virtual worlds and social networks. Speakers will guide attendees through the industry standard procedures of buyers and showrooms, line sheets, purchase order credit, the importance of seasonal updates, the future of the online world for the fashion business and advice on pattern makers and production.
“As the nation’s only college focused on the study of business and fashion, LIM College is a natural fit to serve as the site for Nolcha’s first Fashion Business Conference,” says Elizabeth S. Marcuse, President of LIM College. “Given the current economic climate, it has become increasingly important for fashion entrepreneurs to take advantage of educational opportunities and expand their knowledge base.”
The day will close with an intimate cocktail networking event providing attendees the opportunity to connect with industry executives and decision makers.
