Annual Conference
Our annual conference brings together leaders, experts, and changemakers from across our global community
As we drive forward our vision of a global materials production model that gives back more than it takes from nature, the Textile Exchange conference is a vital opportunity to build connections throughout the entire supply network and facilitate alignment around best practices for a resilient future.
About
Fostering industry-wide collaboration for over two decades
Starting out in Texas in 2002, our annual conference has grown and evolved over the years. Our aim has always been to bring stakeholders from every corner of the industry together in one room, helping to shape a better system from the inside. Building community is central to our mission, and the conference provides a space to tackle complex global challenges together, carving out a clear course of action to reach our collective goals.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Industry discussions, networking opportunities, and field trips
Bringing materials production into the climate conversation, our conference sessions are designed to unpick the defining issues faced by the global community. From CEOs and NGOs to farmers and activists, we are committed to elevating a diverse range of voices through each year’s carefully curated agenda.
Following the conference, attendees can also take part in optional field trips – a unique opportunity to get to the source of material production, meet with farmers and producers, and discover how raw materials impact communities and ecosystems on the ground.
