At registration, it is a required option to choose one of the six pillars. If you can’t remember which you chose or secured your ticket through invoice, please reach out to Niamh Campbell.
Key themes
As the apparel industry grows more specialised, the sharpest insight often comes from outside your own expertise. Innovation Forum's 2027 programme is organised around six pillars, from governance and finance to circular systems and worker resilience, so you can move between specialisms intentionally.
Streamline the agenda
Select your pillars at registration to filter the agenda to what's relevant, across both days.
Matchmaking pre-event
Opt in and we'll pair you with another attendee before the event, to benchmark goals and swap early insight.
Enhanced networking on-site
Pillar zones and badge interests make it easy to find people tackling the same problems among 350 attendees.
The pillars explained
All of the pillars intersect with interlinked threads like reporting, regulation and digitalisation all running across each of the six.
The pillars aren't a claim that these areas are separate, they're a way of organising your experience so you have a clear starting point for planning your two days.
Governance and finance
Board oversight, compliance and where the capital will come from.
Circular systems and products
Materials, design, and what the digital product passport requires in practice.
People and worker resilience
Human rights due diligence, heat stress, decent work.
Climate action
Environment, biodiversity and water, and where they overlap.
Supply chain resilience
Purchasing practices, sourcing strategy, traceability.
Communications and transparency
Consumer education, the data behind green claims, reporting that holds up.
