New York - Seniors from the Fashion Institute of Technology's Home Products Development Department are inviting industry members to attend an hour-long presentation about new technologies that will impact home products.
Deriving from the senior class's product development competition, the event will take place Tuesday, May 8 in the Katie Murphy Amphitheater, D Building, at 7th Avenue and 27th Street.
Doors open at 6 p.m. The program begins at 6:30 p.m. and will include five 10-minute multi-media presentations.
"The student groups develop a consumer product which incorporates the varied mediums of the home furnishings industries while exploring the strategies of the product marketing effort," according to FIT.
