About Event

Circular fashion is widely discussed across the industry. But what does it actually take to make it work in practice? And what does it take for these models to generate positive ROI?

During San Francisco Climate Week, join us for a candid conversation with leaders from fashion brands and technology companies working on the front lines of circular fashion.

This panel will explore how brands are experimenting with resale, repair, rental, and other circular models to extend product life, build stronger relationships with customers, and create new value beyond the first sale.

We will discuss:

  • What is actually working in circular fashion today

  • The operational realities of running resale and repair programs

  • The biggest challenges brands face when trying to scale these models

  • How consumer behavior is shaping the next phase of circular fashion

The session will include a moderated discussion followed by audience Q&A, with time afterward for informal networking with coffee and snacks.

Who this is for

People passionate about circularity including professionals inside fashion brands.

To keep this space meaningful for everyone, please no soliciting. This is about open, honest conversation.
