Coats Digital attended the AAPN Annual Conference 2026, connecting with industry leaders to advance digital transformation.
In May, the team from Coats Group and Coats Digital attended the AAPN Pro:Americas Annual Conference 2026 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida — a key industry event bringing together leaders from across the textile, apparel and sewn products supply chain.
Hosted by the Americas Apparel Producers’ Network (AAPN), the conference provided a valuable platform for brands, manufacturers and technology providers to discuss the future of apparel production, sourcing strategies, supply chain resilience and digital transformation across the Americas.
Throughout the event, conversations focused on the evolving challenges and opportunities facing the industry, including nearshoring, operational efficiency, sustainability and the increasing role of technology in enabling smarter and more agile manufacturing processes.
For Coats Digital, the conference offered an excellent opportunity to connect with industry partners and explore how digital solutions can help businesses improve planning accuracy, optimise production workflows and support more efficient decision-making across the supply chain.

The event also reinforced the importance of collaboration and innovation in helping the industry navigate changing market demands and build more resilient, future-ready operations. Coats Digital was proud to participate in this year’s conference and to engage with organisations committed to driving progress and innovation throughout the global apparel industry.
