The 17th Istanbul Apparel Conference, the most inclusive gathering of apparel and textiles industries, is going to take place on October 16 and 17, 2024 at Çırağan Palace Kempinski.

Hosted by the Turkish Clothing Manufacturers' Association, the main theme of the Conference is set to be "Redefine, Realign, Refashion".

On the first day of this year's event, we will discuss the impact of changing consumer demands which are mainly driven by increased focus on sustainability, sensitivity on environmental issues. We will also address digital technologies including artificial intelligence, emerging management patterns within businesses, transparency and traceability of supply chains, digital product passport and legislative changes in the export markets.

On the second day of the conference, we will organize "B2B Speed Network Meetings" where brands, buying groups representing hundreds of brands as well as major e-export platforms will have the opportunity to contact with local garment and textile manufacturers. These meetings serve as a commercial platform that is beneficial for all parties to build new relationships and enter new markets.
