Threads of Tomorrow Summit

Event is now SOLD OUT.

Join us for a defining moment for Aotearoa’s fibre-to-fashion future.

For one powerful day in June, the entire ecosystem comes together: producers, makers, designers, manufacturers, innovators, brands, researchers, policymakers, investors, and students - all in one room. This isn’t just another conference. It’s a national moment of alignment.

The Threads of Tomorrow Summit connects the dots across our value chain, accelerates best practice, showcases breakthrough innovation, and unlocks real opportunities for collaboration.

Expect bold, industry-leading conversations. Practical insights you can act on. Original case studies. And the space to build meaningful relationships that last beyond the day.

Secure your ticket and be part of shaping what comes next.

Presented by Fashion & Textiles NZ (previously Mindful Fashion NZ)

The Summit is structured around three core themes. 

Place

Grounded in who we are and where we stand, we’ll explore Aotearoa New Zealand’s unique context: our land and resources, our design and creative culture, our values, and our global strengths across the value chain.

Possibility

From ideas to impact, we examine how bold approaches, global insights and new models can unlock enduring economic, environmental and community value. What we can learn from global leaders, how we might grow innovation across the system.

Momentum

Turning insight into action, we look ahead to the shifts shaping the next decade; where markets are moving, what leadership demands, and how businesses in Aotearoa New Zealand can move forward with clarity and confidence.

Expect industry-leading conversations, practical insights, original case studies, and space to build real relationships.
