She*t for Brains, brought to you by Konnections, powered by Kornit

Presented by: Dave Rosendahl, MindFire, President; Dr. Glenn Packiam
In the follow-up to our KONNECTIONS ’26 Resiliency session, Glenn Packiam and the She*t for Brains team go deeper – from personal resilience to building teams that can weather anything. Using a framework grounded in Harvard Business Review research, we’ll explore four pillars of team resilience: Candor, Humility, Compassion, and Resourcefulness. This is an interactive session with small-group discussion – come ready to be honest about how your team really operates.

Key Takeaways:
1. How to build honest feedback loops that strengthen (not fracture) your team
2. Why “right-sizing” yourself – resisting getting too big or too small under stress – is the key to humble leadership
3. Practical rituals for connection: check-ins, temperature readings, and shared Essential Rhythms
4. The Freedom-Vision Matrix: aligning energy, roles, and clarity so your team runs together

This isn’t another webinar.
It’s a playbook for growth.

The apparel industry is shifting fast—toward on-demand, data-driven, and demand-led production. But while the opportunity is massive, most contract decorators and textile printers are still selling digital the wrong way—and missing the bigger prize.

Why This Matters:

Brands are not just looking for production anymore.
They are looking for partners who can help them:

• Move faster
• Reduce risk
• Test and scale new ideas
• Turn creators and communities into revenue

And if you’re not speaking their language… you’re not getting a seat at the table.

What You’ll Learn:
In this exclusive Konnections session, Oscar Chavarria—COO of MAS ACME USA and a global operations leader working with brands like Spanx, Savage X Fenty, Target, and Walmart—shares how leading brands are really thinking about digital production.

You’ll walk away with a clear playbook to:

• Sell speed, not just cost
• Launch products in weeks—not seasons
• Test ideas without betting on inventory
• Protect margins while reducing risk
• Position yourself as a growth partner, not just a vendor

The Opportunity

The companies that win in the next decade won’t be the cheapest.
They’ll be the ones who move fastest from idea to revenue.
This session shows you how to align with that shift—and capture the growth.

Who Should Attend:

• CEOs & C-suite leaders
• Sales & business development teams
• Digital and production leaders
• Contract decorators & textile printers
• Brands and retailers looking to scale faster

Bottom Line
If you want to:

• Drive more revenue
• Increase margins
• Unlock new markets

This is your opportunity to learn directly from the brand side—and change how you sell digital forever.

The modern apparel factory is undergoing a fundamental shift.
What was once manual, fragmented, and labor-intensive is becoming integrated, automated, and data-driven.
Driven by rising costs, supply chain disruption, and the need for speed, apparel manufacturers are rapidly adopting automation and robotics across their operations. The impact is significant—companies are seeing 20–35% cost savings while reducing lead times by up to 50%, fundamentally changing the economics of production.
This is not just about efficiency. It is about rethinking the factory as a connected system—from workflow and material handling to printing, finishing, and fulfillment.
Leading manufacturers are integrating automation and robotics into their operations, how quickly these technologies are being adopted, and what it means for the future of apparel production. Because the question is no longer if automation will reshape the factory.
It’s how fast you can adapt before the industry moves past you.
