The annual Australian Circular Fashion Conference (ACFC) is Australasia’s leading sustainability-focussed fashion business event. The aim of the conference is to encourage key stakeholders in the industry to join forces to build economically viable means to practice sustainable and circular manufacturing practices.
The ACFC Conference made its successful debut in Sydney in 2018 (we were there, this fashion industry event delivered news on the latest in innovation and pioneering industry practice, was knowledge expert packed and networking with the who’s who was also electrifying!) and this year promises to be even bigger, with the 2019 event to be held in Melbourne.
Over 500 business leaders and sustainability consultants and experts from some of Australia and New Zealand’s largest multinational companies are expected to attend including United Nations Global Compact, Lenzing, Workwear Group, Wesfarmers, Cotton On, Spell & The Gypsy Collective, Sustainable Apparel Coalition and more.

Following the one-day conference, tickets holders will be invited to attend an exclusive workshop day run by our international speakers. Limited to 80 participants, those attending will join with these professionals to brainstorm ideas for a “circular fashion” business model and how to use innovative recycling practices to reduce residual waste.
