Uzbekistan will serve as the venue for the prestigious ITMF Annual Conference and World Fashion Convention, underscoring the country’s growing significance in the global textile industry. This move reflects Uzbekistan’s rich history in textile craftsmanship and its rising prominence in the international market.
As Uzbekistan aligns with modern economic principles and enhances its global market presence, it will host these major industry events, attracting key figures from the textile and apparel sectors. The conference is expected to draw over 500 participants, including representatives from leading brands, financial institutions, and major retailers, all eager to engage with the country’s burgeoning textile economy.
The conference will address pivotal themes such as innovation, collaboration, and regulation. Key sessions will focus on advancements in cotton fibers—a fundamental component of the textile industry—as well as market insights from regions like the Americas and Africa, and specific case studies from Uzbekistan. These discussions aim to highlight both the shared challenges and unique opportunities within these diverse markets.
Attention will also be given to the role of artificial fibers, including polyester, exploring both their growing importance and the hurdles associated with their use. A notable addition to this year’s agenda is a discussion on “audit fatigue” among manufacturers, which examines the burdens of compliance and suggests strategies for navigating evolving regulations in global supply chains.
Uzbekistan’s advancements in textile and apparel exports, alongside its evolving value chain, will offer valuable insights into building sustainable global supply chains.
Future sessions will tackle global challenges from a sustainability perspective, exploring how technological innovations will influence the textile industry. Panels will address sustainability and regulatory frameworks, providing actionable steps for companies to adapt and thrive. Additionally, specialized sessions on digitalization and artificial intelligence in digital labeling will address skill gaps and enhance efficiency in production and distribution.
