The theme for this year’s Textile Exchange Conference is Shifting Landscapes. Climate change, environmental policy developments, and evolving markets are redefining the context in which materials are grown, produced, and used. Amid such changes, adaptation is not just a necessity — it can be a catalyst for change. Connecting environmental adaptation and systems transformation means making space for a diversity of perspectives, including scientific knowledge and lived experience, and asking difficult questions about the systems we rely on. By bringing together stakeholders from both sides of the supply system, the conference will create space for shared learning and dialogue, focused on building a fiber and materials economy that supports people, nature, and the climate. Register now to join us in Lisbon, Portugal, or online on October 13-17 for three days of exploring shifting landscapes through curated collective learning and field trips to local producers.

📢 This year’s Textile Exchange Conference is now open for registration! Our annual event brings together fashion and textile brands, supply system partners, innovators, farmers, non-profit organizations, academics, and more. Join us in Lisbon or online from October 13–17, 2025, for three days of curated, collective learning, followed by field trips to local material producers. Under the theme of Shifting Landscapes, this year’s agenda will drive home the urgency for our industry to rapidly adapt to changing climates both to mitigate risk and unlock opportunities for systems transformation. Successful evolution will mean looking to those on the ground, from farmers to second-hand clothing sellers, who are already shifting their ways of working to fit the challenges unfolding locally. Listening to perspectives from across the supply system, the 2025 Textile Exchange Conference will unpack place-based insights into adaptation and how they can be effectively integrated into global strategies for climate and nature. We’re proud to welcome FibreTrace® as the title sponsor of the 2025 Textile Exchange Conference.
