Join us at our kickoff event for the week — an interactive 3D marketplace that mimics an expo-style event. This immersive virtual event will allow participants to chat face-to-face with sustainable fashion faves, discover new brands, and make purchases on the spot! The marketplace will be bookended by two expert panel discussions: "Sustainable Fashion in the Time of COVID" and "Dreams of a Zero Waste Tomorrow.
SCHEDULE OF EVENTS:
12:00-1:00 PM - Panel 1: Sustainable Fashion in the Time of COVID
COVID-19 has changed everything about the world we live in. From how we work to how we shop to how we socialize, the pandemic prompts us all to reexamine the systems around us and how we fit into them. Framed by this pivotal moment in history, our first panel discussion will explore how brands are grappling with the pandemic, and how they're planning to build back more equitably and more sustainably in its wake.
Panelist details coming soon.
1:00-6:00 PM - Live Marketplace Hours
Your ticket to this event will provide you access to the marketplace all week long, but we encourage you to join us from 1:00-6:00 PM to browse our vendor booths while they're being staffed live by brand representatives! Ask questions, get recommendations, and make connections via our immersive, curated shopping experience.
6:00-7:00 PM - Panel 2: Dreams of a Zero Waste Tomorrow
How do today's idealistic dreams become tomorrow's norms? In this future-facing panel, we'll learn from zero waste pioneers who are laying the groundwork for a better tomorrow. We'll discuss opportunities for innovation, the role technology can play in creating scalable solutions to waste, and the importance of pairing innovation with policy change. To close, we'll hear from each panelist on actionable steps that individuals can take today to push the needle forward in the fight for a sustainable future.
