The Nest Coalition will be introducing Coalition Conversations in 2026. These conversations would consist of ongoing series featuring makers and artisans from across the United States and around the world.
The conversations would also be highlighting industry best practices and success stories from committed partners allowing shared learnings across their sector in a safe and collaborative setting. These sessions are designed to inspire design teams with beautiful heritage craft, expand brands’ understanding of artisan realities, challenges, and opportunities. They are designed to build trust and transparency within the supply chain, to demystify what true collaboration looks like, culturally, creatively, and commercially.
More than anything, these conversations would offer a rare opportunity for team members across companies to engage directly in the heart of the Nest’s shared impact, allowing for rich employee engagement in new and creative ways.
The Nest is invites interested companies to join the Coalition Conversation, to co-host and get involved in shaping a session around a corporate priority, impact success story, or theme that aligns with their brand’s values and aspirations. This is an opportunity for organisations to showcase their leadership in labour standards, culturally intelligent design, or other corporate priorities.
It is also an opportunity for organisations to champion artisans whose work inspires them or to spotlight a region or craft within their sourcing footprint. This would help guide the industry forward through meaningful, transparent conversation including bringing organisation’s broader corporate team into a rich engagement opportunity.
