Working toward a more sustainable industry, the event will focus on four pillars of sustainability: ReMake, ReThink, ReInvest and ReMarket, which will help businesses become more environmentally conscientious.

For this inaugural event, Remode has organized more than 75 sessions to help companies become more omni-channel in a sustainable way.

Topics to be discussed include building a sustainable brand, on-demand manufacturing, sustainable sourcing, transparent by design, the role of venture capitalists in early-stage fashion brands, and winning and wholesaling.
