Apparel & Brand Manufacturing Workshop with Floyd Fabrication
Event starts at 9:00 am
03/06/2026 - 03/07/2026
Join us for an immersive, hands-on event focused on real-world apparel manufacturing workflows. On March 6–7, we’ll be on-site at Floyd Fabrication, pulling back the curtain on how high-end branded merchandise is produced—from blank garment to finished product. You’ll see multiple decoration methods in action, learn how they work together in a production environment, and walk away with a clear understanding of both process and potential return on investment.
