The upcoming Copenhagen Fashion Summit, to be held in May 2018 is set for a revamp. As per the new format, the global multi-stakeholder event will expand to two days, allowing more time to explore the many Summit components, including the new Innovation Forum, which boasts of more than 50 sustainable solution providers. On May 15-16, 2018, the world’s leading business event on sustainability in fashion will kick off its sixth edition at the Copenhagen Concert Hall.

One new feature is the sustainable solutions platform Innovation Forum, which will draw attention to a curated selection of the world's most promising solution providers. Innovation Forum will enable participating fashion brands to meet with 50 plus solution providers covering the entire supply chain from innovative fabrics to green packaging solutions. Innovation Forum will also have a pitch stage for the presentation of disruptive innovations and a speed dating event with more than 350 pre-scheduled business meetings between brands and providers based on a prior screening and matchmaking process.

Leadership assembly

Like every time, the Summit will present an outstanding line-up of high-level keynote speakers, their names to be released in the coming months, just as the Leadership Assembly, a key component of the Summit, will convene industry decision-makers, civil society and government for closed-door roundtable discussions and public-private dialogues on the most urgent environmental, social and ethical issues. Finally, Copenhagen Fashion Summit 2018 participants can look forward to familiar, well-known features, such the release of the annual Pulse of the Fashion Industry report, a presentation from the Youth Fashion Summit, which just announced a partnership with the United Nations Global Compact focusing specifically on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 Good Health and Well-being and SDG 5 Gender Equality, as well as several facilitated networking sessions and panel debates on the most critical topics facing the industry today.
