The world’s biggest challenges demand the world’s biggest solutions.

Join changemakers and thought leaders from around the globe for three dynamic days of virtual live-streams and in-person connections. Dive into practical insights and inspiring use cases from the built environment and textiles sectors—two of the most resource-intensive industries. Gain strategies from sector trailblazers, explore innovative business models, and connect with circularity champions, policymakers, and innovators. Whether you’re here to network, learn, or lead, this festival is your
gateway to shaping a sustainable future.
