Fashion industry professionals are gearing up for the year ahead – setting travel plans, securing budgets and plotting out key campaigns and launches. At Fashion Conveners, one of the key ways we drive positive, collective action is by coordinating efforts among our member organizations.

The apparel industry is in the midst of a dramatic sea change when it comes to policy and sustainability.
