37th IAF World Fashion Convention, Dhaka, iafBangladesh: Transforming Fashion Together
Decision made:
The International Apparel Federation (IAF) will hold its 37th World Fashion Convention in Bangladesh's capital Dhaka on November 13–16, to be organized in shoulder-to-shoulder collaboration with its Bangladeshi members, BGMEA and BKMEA.
The Convention will contain a full-day conference and a networking dinner, both held on Tuesday, November 15 as well as an industry tour held on Wednesday, November 16 and/or Thursday, November 17.
Registration for these events has now opened on the joint, dedicated convention website www.iafconventiondhaka.com.
The theme of the convention will be "Transforming Fashion Together". "The theme carries the message of supply chain collaboration and together with the strong industry associations BGMEA and BKMEA, IAF is sending the message that the major challenges of our industry today can only realistically be met when there is a true collaboration between buyers and their suppliers," the IAF board takes a stand.
Bangladesh, as the second largest garment exporting country in the world, makes a perfect venue to experience the fact that garment manufacturers play a pivotal role in a successful industry transformation, forming a source of solutions to the industry’s current major problems.
The global industry body of the apparel industry announces as well for the 37th edition of their annual convention constant discussions among industry leaders, company owners and leaders of industry associations, representatives of public authorities, NGOs, and Academia. For the Dhaka gathering, practical solutions to such industry challenges as digitalization, sustainability, and more effective business models involving the entire supply chain should be the focus of that exchange. Editor's experience: The hands-on, business-like, and solution-oriented approach distinguishes the IAF World Fashion Convention.
During the Convention period also the Made in Bangladesh Week will be organized: IAF Convention delegates are invited to join the activities around that event, including the Dhaka Apparel Summit, the Dhaka Apparel Expo, and the Bangladesh Denim Expo.
