Registration opens for IAF 37th World Fashion Convention in Bangladesh

The Convention will be held from November 13-16, 2022 in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It will contain a full day conference and a network dinner, both scheduled to be held on November 15 as well as an industry tour held on November 16 and/or November 17.

The theme carries the message of supply chain collaboration and together with the industry associations BGMEA and BKMEA, IAF is sending the message that the major challenges of the industry today can only realistically be met when there is true collaboration between buyers and their suppliers. Bangladesh, as the second largest garment exporting country in the world is the perfect venue to experience that garment manufacturers play a pivotal role in a successful industry transformation, forming a source of solutions to the industry’s current major problems, IAF said in a press release.

During this convention, there will be constant discussion about practical solutions to such industry challenges as digitalisation, sustainability and more effective business models involving the entire supply chain. This convention will have a hands-on, business-like and solution-oriented approach which distinguishes the IAF World Fashion Convention from many other conferences.

IAF conventions are well-established industry events featuring a high level of speakers and delegates. Previous speakers came from PVH, H&M, Hugo Boss, Desigual, Disney, VF, Zegna, Interloop, Adriano Goldschmied and Vivienne Westwood, as well as McKinsey, BCG, the ILO, the World Bank, the OECD and London College of Fashion. IAF expects about 300 delegates at each event, from over 20 countries. Many of the guests are industry leaders, company owners and leaders of industry associations. In addition, the events will attract public authorities, NGOs and Academia.
