It will also be addressed to professionals across the textile and apparel industry. Among participants there will also be textile industry insiders such as, for instance, yarn and fabric manufacturers, garment makers and large and small scale retailers.

Lectures will be held by Edoardo Simonetti, founder of Studio Simonetti, and Danilo Seregni, textile and design expert.
