Global Fashion Summit 2026 – Copenhagen Edition

The Global Fashion Summit 2026 returns to Copenhagen from May 5–7 under the theme 'Building Resilient Futures,' convened by the Global Fashion Agenda to accelerate sustainability across the fashion value chain. Bringing together approximately 1,000 decision-makers—designers, brand executives, retailers, textile innovators, and sustainability leaders—the summit addresses fashion's most pressing environmental and social challenges. Core themes include circular business models and apparel take-back systems, scaling upcycled and recycled fiber production, water and chemical reduction in manufacturing, responsible labor practices, and climate resilience across supply chains. The summit emphasizes that sustainable fashion encompasses entire product lifecycles from design through end-of-life. Held under the patronage of Her Majesty the Queen of Denmark at Copenhagen Concert Hall, the summit serves as the leading forum for advancing whole-systems transformation in one of the world's most resource-intensive industries.
