Join Dan Latham, former Director of Converse's multimillion-dollar Innovation Center, and Executive Director Virginia Shearer for an engaging conversation inspired by Future Now: Virtual Sneakers to Cutting-Edge Kicks. Learn about Latham's first-hand experience developing footwear for leading brands, including Nike, Timberland, and Converse, and how exciting innovations transform fashion and shoe design on a global scale. As this talk will be exploring works in the galleries, there will be limited capacity and standing room only. Meet in the Wendy G. Surkis & Peppi Elona Lobby. About Dan Latham Dan Latham is a recently retired engineer and product developer for some of the world’s most recognized shoe brands, having worked with Stride Rite, LL Bean, Timberland, Rockport, Nike and Converse over an extensive 45-year career. After entering the footwear industry as a leather cutter and pattern maker, he went on to plan and oversee production in Europe, Asia, South America and North America. Throughout this work, the need to incorporate sustainable models remained a constant priority. Latham witnessed the growth of Nike’s Material Sustainability Index and, less than 10 years later, was part of the team that created Timberland’s Green Index: the first environmental scale for footwear made visible to the public.
