Brooklyn Fashion + Design Accelerator

The Murmuration Festival is 3-day festival featuring influential speakers, national innovation thought-leaders, a juried art competition, and cutting-edge music performances.

Join our Managing Director Deborah Alden for an exciting panel on Innovation’s Impact on Bringing Products to Market.

There are several ways to bring products to market. With the democratization of maker-spaces, distribution through sites like Etsy, and consumers’ interest in understanding the story behind the product, people who make products have much more influence on how an item is developed, prototyped, refined, and launched. This panel explores the process of bringing new products and fashions to market, ways to engage the end-user or consumer, and the importance of trial-and-error.
