Registration is now open for the 2016 Textile Sustainability Conference that will take place in Hamburg, Germany from October 3-7.

 

Textile Exchange’s annual global conference is a place where industry experts from around the world gather to share progress, knowledge and best practices. This year’s event will focus on how the industry will accelerate the growth of Preferred Fiber and Materials.

 

Featuring progressive sessions led by the world’s foremost thought leaders as well as hands-on learning and networking opportunities, conference attendees will leave inspired, equipped and with a network of connections to produce positive impacts.

 

Schedule of events:

 

• October 3* – Attendee check-In and exhibitor set-up

• October 4 – Conference Day 1

• October 5 – Conference Day 2

• October 6 – 5th Annual Organic Cotton Round Table meeting

• October 7 – TExcursions (optional industry tours)

 

*The Welcome Cocktail Reception historically held on the first night of the event will be on October 4 instead to allow German constituents to enjoy German Reunification Day with their families.
