Please join us, October 21 and 22 in Seattle, to identify issues and resources relating to sustainable textiles, such as emerging natural and synthetic materials, recycled content in textiles, energy use and conservation in textiles, carbon and water footprinting related to textile production, and much more.
This meeting will provide technical training and education by international experts from industry, academia, government, and the NGO community about organic and other sustainable textiles and the corresponding issues and opportunities throughout the textile supply chain. It will also provide a convening and networking opportunity for OE members (and invited non-members) to cross-pollinate ideas, leverage resources, share insights, and improve scale for sustainable textiles worldwide.
Potential attendees include those who are charged with the production or sale of textile products, corporate CSR professionals, product designers and developers, sourcing professionals and buyers, product integrity and quality assurance staff, executive management, and marketing and finance staff.
Conference Overview
If you are a textiles professional chartered with improving the sustainability of your product, this is the one 2009 meeting you’ll want to attend. This comprehensive meeting and forum will cover important aspects of sustainable textiles with topics including organic fibers, intelligent textiles, recycled fibers, natural fibers (bamboo, cellulose, and many others), sustainable business practices, water and energy usage, social issues, climate concerns, industry integrity (including certification), consumer market trends, key performance indicators, and traceability and transparency issues.
By attending, you’ll provide your company with an excellent return on investment as you meet with your peers, expand your knowledge of sustainable textiles, and find new opportunities for innovation, risk reduction/brand protection, and cost savings.
