Cheers to a Digital Future! #OktoberfestWithCentric

September 28 – October 2

Normally, at this time of the year, we would be inviting our customers and prospects for a networking seminar in Munich and an evening at Oktoberfest. Of course, 2020 is a year unlike any other. So in lieu of the real thing, we are bringing a little bit of Oktoberfest to you, virtually.

Join Centric and an exciting line-up of expert guest speakers for a week of virtual roundtables discussing major topics and the big issues affecting the industry right now.

In true Oktoberfest spirit, each attendee will receive a complimentary pack of 5 artisanal beers* to enjoy with Centric virtually.

Explore the series below and register to attend the sessions!

Session 1 – Sourcing in pandemic times

28 September – 4.15pm – Online

With limited international travel, nearshoring is likely to become a necessity in the ‘new normal’. But as the chaotic supply chain situation continues, how can sourcing teams prepare for further disruptions if another spike hits? Discover which revolutionary technologies enable buying and merchandising teams to streamline and speed up the sourcing process, despite restrictions.

Session 2 - 3D product design and development

29 September – 4.15pm – Online

Producing physical samples has always been a headache due to the time, cost and waste involved, and the pandemic has only made the process more problematic. Learn how innovative 3D technology such as Centric 3D Connect can be integrated with CAD and PLM solutions to limit physical samples and harness the power of 3D at every stage of the product lifecycle.

Session 3 - Design in lockdown

30 September – 4.15pm – Online

Where do you find inspiration with fashion shows and trade events cancelled? How has remote working changed how your teams interact and collaborate? And how will changing shopping habits affect the design process going forward? Digital technology can provide a wealth of inspiration and new ways of working and thinking, all at your fingertips. Find out how!

Session 4 - Training and Change Management

01 October – 4.15pm – Online

While transitioning your teams to new platforms and different ways of working may seem daunting, change doesn’t have to be complicated if you have the right training and support. Join Centric Software's Marcel Oorthuis and Ric van der Meer as well as Tobias Maiwald from German fashion giant s.Oliver for this discussion to discover the best practices around adopting new solutions.

Session 5 - The Road Ahead – Reserved for Centric customers

02 October – 2:45pm – Online

The most resilient companies in these challenging times have not only proven to be agile but have demonstrated leadership and foresight in the technology space, quickly adopting innovative tech solutions to empower their teams. In this session we will be reviewing and demoing highlights from Centric’s last two releases, introduce the latest connectors and provide exclusive insight into Centric’s strategic and technical roadmap. A must-attend for Centric Customers!

 

The main 45-minute sessions will be followed by moderated 30-minute networking sessions including a quiz element, so you can connect with likeminded professionals, pick the brains of our experts and test your knowledge, too!
