The global sourcing industry is navigating one of the most complex and consequential periods in its history. Tariffs are reshuffling the sourcing map. Geopolitical conflict is disrupting shipping routes and driving up raw material costs. And the long-promised shift away from China is proving far harder to execute than most brands anticipated. This session cuts through the noise and gives you a clear-eyed view of the current landscape, what has actually changed, what is still in flux, and what it means for your sourcing strategy going forward. We'll cover the real cost pressures hitting brands today, the countries gaining ground and those struggling to absorb the volume, and the factory capacity constraints that are making supplier relationships more competitive than ever. Most importantly, we'll tell you what to do about it. Whether you're managing an established global supply chain or just beginning to diversify, you'll leave this session with a sharper understanding of the risks on the horizon and the moves that the smartest operators in the industry are making right now
