Planet Textiles 2015 adds new speakers

Planet Textiles 2015 has added new speakers to its list. After the announcement of speaker Hans Rosling from the Gapminder Foundation, three high profile presenters from Adidas, VF Corporation and the Beijing-based NG, Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs (IPE), have joined the list for the annual summit on textiles and sustainability, which takes place in March 2015 in China.

 

Rosling will open Planet Textiles 2015 with his keynote address. Ma Jun, Director of (IPE) will also speak at the event, along with confirmed speakers Philip Courtenay, Senior Vice President of Apparel Sourcing at Adidas Group, and Sean Cady, Vice President of Product Stewardship and Sustainability at VF Corporation. Ma Jun is a very well-known Chinese environmentalist, environmental consultant, and journalist, who received the Goldman Environmental Prize in 2012 and made the list of FP Top 100 Global Thinkers in the same year. In addition to Cady and Courtenay, speaking on behalf of VF Corp and Adidas respectively, other speakers for next year’s event include senior executives at Bayer Materials and Bluesign technologies. 

 

Rosling’s award-winning lectures cover contemporary environmental, economic and social world changes, accompanied by animations and graphics of global trends. He also regularly features on theTED.com platform. The professor of international health has also co-founded the Gapminder Foundation, which converts international statistics into easy to understand, interactive graphics, aiming to promote a fact-based world view.

 

Planet Textiles 2015 will be held on March 19, 2015 at the National Convention and Exhibition Centre, Shanghai, China, and will take place in English with simultaneous translations into Chinese. It runs concurrently with Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics organised by Messe Frankfurt.
