The 2023 edition of e-P Summit will be dedicated to the relationship between fashion and the digital world. The Pitti Immagine event returns to Stazione Leopolda in Florence on April 18th and 19th, 2023.

"Shaping the digital future of Fashion" is the subtitle and the promise of the event, which provides a leading forum for dialogue between tech companies and the fashion industry, after launching in May 2022 a new format under the scientific direction of Rinaldo Rinaldi, a professor at the Department of Industrial Engineering at the University of Florence, who has been working for many years on the relationship between big fashion and luxury brands and ICTs for the digital transformation of the entire supply chain. 

Companies’ IT teams and staff members, and anyone interested in digital tools for the fashion and luxury sectors, can engage with innovation providers to explore the best software and hardware solutions for their business needs. but also join the discussion on the future of the industry through a diverse program of roundtables, presentations, and speeches by renowned guests.

Among the scheduled topics of the two-day e-P Summit: new strategies for personalizing and measuring the effectiveness of marketing campaigns in light of new cookie policies, the potential of 3D for business operations, insights on sourcing from seasonal to rolling, digital distribution control in retail, social and hybrid commerce, new KPIs for stores, Web3 evolutions and brand protection between Metaverse, NFT, and Blockchain, challenges and potential of the European Digital Product Passport for traceability, and designing sustainability through recycling and durability.

"In the last two to three years, the pace of technological advancements has accelerated even further," said Raffaello Napoleone, ceo of Pitti Immagine. "This trend, coupled with the challenges faced by production processes and supply chain bottlenecks across multiple continents, has underscored the critical importance of digital innovation in the development of the fashion and luxury industry. This is why the e-P Summit has become an essential event, providing a high-level, specialized, and segmented forum for discussions among innovators and users. As part of Pitti's portfolio, e-P Summit offers seamless integration of services to support the fashion system."

A new addition to this edition is the Innovation Call, developed in collaboration with the Fashion Technology Accelerator-Fta. The call invites selected Fashion Tech Startups to present their innovative solutions that combine high technology and fashion to the audience of managers and professionals in the fashion sector attending the e-P Summit.
