Hi Everyone! We have a stellar lineup for our next event focusing on creating Circularity around Textiles and Fashion on the Gold Coast and surrounding community. 👔 Do you want to learn how to create a more Circular loop around Textiles for your business or learn about Circular Fashion? 🏭 Do you know how your clothes are manufactured, and what happens to your old textiles and clothes today? ♻ What options are there locally? Stores? Collections? Recycling? 💃 Come and enjoy a Trendy and Circular Fashion Show!! 💡 Learn from key industry experts how you can contribute as a business or as a local. Please have a look at the fantastic and inspiring agenda below. It should be noted that we intend to run this event as a #workshop event so that both #networking and #actions are included around round tables. At the end of the event, we will ask all tables to share their notes, which we will summarise and share in a CEC GC Textile report for all attendees!
