Leading international forum for sustainability in fashion; Global Fashion Summit presented by Global Fashion Agenda, makes its return for the next edition from 5–7 May 2026. Pre-Summit activities on 5 May will be hosted at various venues across Copenhagen, leading into the core Summit days on 6 and 7 May at the Copenhagen Concert Hall.
The three-day event is an experience of agenda-setting dialogue, action-fuelled networking, and inspiring solutions shaping the future of fashion. Bringing together fashion leaders from across the value chain to advance the industry’s most pressing environmental and social challenges.
Convening major decision makers from across the world, the forum was first launched in 2009 as a COP15 side event and has become the nexus for agenda-setting discussions and presentations on the most critical environmental, social and ethical issues facing our industry and planet, all intended to spark urgent action and accelerate impact in the industry.
Building on the impact of the landmark Summit in Copenhagen, the platform was developed to be hosted in additional key regions around the world including Asia – Singapore, and Boston in North America.
Global Fashion Summit presents an unrivalled experience for attendees who wish to hear from and connect with a breadth of fashion stakeholders. Tailored to a decision-making profile, the programme supports a range of brand functions with a focus on top management
The content is carefully curated to equip not only sustainability specialists but creatives, marketers, sourcing experts, manufacturers, policy makers and more, to ultimately remove silos and foster collaborative action.
The diversity of Summit content means multiple actors from across a business or organisation can walk away with relevant knowledge to support their role in influencing the sustainability journey.
