WEAR Conference

October 1, 2018 - October 2, 2018

The global apparel and textile industry is an important one – valued at more than three trillion dollars. With this comes a huge responsibility, both to the environment and to the millions of people who make our clothes. Our industry is best positioned to have a tremendous impact on climate change. By shifting toward more innovative, sustainable and regenerative business models, we have the power to positively impact the environment and millions of people worldwide.

Innovation is a key driver toward more sustainable solutions – from blockchain technology and applications to address supply chain traceability, to new ways of doing business. Systems thinkers, social innovators, researchers and scientists are working to solve the many issues we are facing. As our industry moves to a more Circular Economy, WEAR 2018 will explore the many available technologies and innovations that brands and retailers are using to achieve their sustainability goals. These themes will be explored through panel discussions, keynotes, fireside chats, workshops and ted-like talks.
