Surrounded by water, Boston is the cultural and financial centre of the Northeastern United States and a renowned hub for technology and education. It is a historically rich city and acts as a nexus point for knowledge and innovation.

By bringing Global Fashion Summit to Boston, the new Edition will seek to form a deeper exploration of the challenges, differences, and opportunities towards a more sustainable value chain.

The United States is home to some of the world’s most renowned fashion brands and leading retailers – it was the largest apparel market in the world in 2022.

The Boston edition will be hosted back-to-back with the SAC Annual Meeting – not only does this avoid the travel emissions that would have been caused if the events were in separate locations, but it is also an efficient use of attendees’ time and resources – allowing more time for discussion, collaboration and acceleration of necessary actions.

Since 2018, the Innovation Forum has turned words into action by presenting a curated selection of the world’s most promising solutions covering the entire supply chain. They moreover facilitate a matchmaking programme connecting Brands and Retailers with Solution Providers through thorough selection processes.
