Desk Report: Bangladesh-based one of the leading Textile publication Textile Focus will be the Official Media Partner at the 37th IAF World Convention, to be held in Dhaka, Bangladesh, from November 13 to 16, 2022. It is co-organising the event with the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) and the Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BKMEA).
The theme for the 37th convention is ‘Transforming Fashion Together’. Going beyond the collaboration between buyers and the key actors in their supply chain, garment manufacturers today play a pivotal role in a successful industry transformation. From the perspective of the Bangladesh industry, this means that actually, the Bangladeshi apparel industry is a source of solutions to the industry’s current major problems.
Unlocking these solutions requires investments. And investments require money and collaboration. A focus on investments, whether these are made by individual companies, or by the entire industry (i.e., in standardisation) will create the kind of hands-on, business-like, and solution-oriented yet holistic approach that distinguishes the IAF World Fashion Convention from many other conferences, according to the IAF.
