The conference, which sits in the middle of Made in Bangladesh week will focus on the solutions to the imminent challenges facing the apparel industry, such as:
- Supply chain collaboration
- Purchasing practices
- Climate action
- Education and digitalization
- Raw material recycling and availability.
The International Apparel Federation (IAF) said: “IAF Conventions always highlight the importance of supply chain collaboration as the only path to a stronger and more sustainable industry. Bangladesh, having grown to be the second largest exporters of garments is the perfect location to show what the active involvement of manufacturers in the development of industry solutions really means in practice.”
The speakers at the conference will include IAF partners, members and projects such as the Apparel Impact Institute (Aii), the STTI, EURATEX, London College of Fashion along with brands and retailers.
Every panel at the conference will feature brands and retailers, manufacturers and experts.
