The conference is scheduled to be held on May 12.

Speakers from UK manufacturers, global brands and a variety of textile innovators will share experiences to help businesses and the wider industry to promote their own sustainable credentials,

Leaders from UK textile manufacturers will learn about sustainability ideas for various businesses and how these companies are addressing challenges by emphasizing on how the UK textile manufacturing industry can use sustainability to boost its competitiveness.

Delegates should be leaders from UK-based textile manufacturing companies, rather than fashion brands, retailers, garment manufacturers or others from outside of the UK textile supply chain.
