Help Me Present at IFFTI 2025 in London!

Hello Friends, Family, and Supporters,

I am thrilled to share that I have been accepted to present my research at the International Foundation of Fashion Technology Institutes (IFFTI) Conference in London, UK (March 24–28, 2025)! This is an incredible opportunity for me as a Master’s student in Fashion Merchandising at Kent State University, where I am researching the impact of AI-driven fashion trend forecasting using Microsoft’s Copilot.

This conference is a prestigious global event where I will present my research on how artificial intelligence can democratize fashion trend forecasting, making it more sustainable and accessible to designers and brands worldwide. Attending IFFTI will allow me to connect with top fashion scholars and industry professionals, receive feedback on my work, and represent Kent State University on an international stage.

Why I Need Your Help

As a graduate student, attending an international conference comes with financial challenges. Despite applying for university funding, I still need support to cover essential travel expenses. Your generous contributions will help me with:

✈️ Roundtrip Flight (Cleveland → London) – $1,000

Accommodation (4 nights in London) – $800

Conference Registration Fee – $600

Meals & Local Transportation – $400

Total Goal: $3,000

How You Can Help

Every donation, no matter the amount, brings me closer to attending this life-changing opportunity. If you're unable to contribute financially, sharing this campaign with your network would mean the world to me!

Your support will not only help me attend this conference but also allow me to bring back knowledge and insights to inspire my students and peers in sustainable and technology-driven fashion innovation.

Thank you so much for believing in me and my work!

With gratitude,

Kylee Payne
