Copenhagen Fashion Summit 2020 postponed until October

The 2020 Copenhagen Fashion Summit has been postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak. The event, which was set to take place in May, has been pushed back to 12-13 October and relocated to Copenhagen Concert Hall.

Organisers said the decision was taken after considering advice from global health authorities to protect the health and safety of everyone involved in the event, including staff s, guests and visitors.

“This is a precarious situation, rife with numerous challenges, but I’m confident that together we can remain positive even in the face of such uncertainty,” said Eva Kruse, CEO of Global Fashion Agenda. 

“In the past couple of days, we have been in touch with many of our key stakeholders and it has been amazing to experience the understanding, flexibility and support from everyone. The feeling of solidarity in our industry has been striking and our commitment to making the fashion industry more sustainable has not wavered.”

The October summit will deliver a programme of inspiring speakers, in-depth conversations and opportunities to meet the world’s leading providers of sustainable solutions. Visitors will also have a chance to network with other industry peers.
