Francesca Sammaritano, Assistant Professor (specialized in children’s wear), and Caletha Crawford have designed the event to educate attendees on the realities and opportunities that exist within this market.

Our panel will discuss their backgrounds; how they’ve advanced in their careers; what their typical days are like; how their jobs are integral to the design, marketing or sales aspects of the business; the skill sets needed for their jobs; and advice for new hires.

Space is limited. Arrive early.
