Who Should Join Us
Why Athens?
Renowned as the birthplace of democracy and dialogue, Athens, Greece provides a fitting backdrop for a gathering focused on collective progress, collaboration, and industry transformation.
The city’s long and vibrant textile heritage — from ancient weaving techniques to modern craftsmanship — reminds us that true innovation often begins with honoring where we’ve come from. By bringing together threads of climate action, cultural legacy, and industry collaboration, the Annual Meeting in Athens will both ground our work in shared history and inspire bold, forward-looking solutions.
Venue
This year’s Annual Meeting will take place at the InterContinental Athenaeum Athens, a stunning and award winning venue located in the heart of the city—offering an inspiring setting for connection, conversation, and collaboration.
Relive the 2025 Event
In 2025, we gathered in Hong Kong to focus on the critical challenges and transformative opportunities facing our industry. We saw 700 attendees, over 100 speakers across five stages, and 33 sponsors come together from around the world, all with the intention to accelerate action. Under the theme A Movement for All, this dynamic event served as a platform to accelerate solutions in a pre-competitive space, together.
