Sourcing Journal turned 15 this year, so there was a lot to celebrate at its annual Fall Summit held in New York this November. The event tackled trade issues and industry turmoil, not to mention Trump’s proposed tariffs, which were particularly top of mind as the event occurred just days after the election.

In this podcast episode for Sourcing Journal Radio, Lauren Parker, director of SJ and Fairchild Studios chats with Peter Sadera, Sourcing Journal’s editor in chief, about the Summit’s highlights and its accompanying Companion Report, which recaps the event and also “continues the conversation.”
Despite so much uncertainty and turmoil, Sadera found the event mood surprisingly upbeat. “With so much uncertainty out there, just sitting around doom scrolling your balance sheets is not really going to get you anywhere. So people feel that when they’re participating in events like this, and there’s open, honest discussions, which I felt there were throughout the day, there is an opportunity to do things—as opposed to having things done to you. So I do think that that lent a slightly optimistic tone.”
