The April edition of Kingpins Transformers Summit is aimed at tackling transparency. The edition, to be held from April 17 in Amsterdam and the following on to be held in New York on June 5th will take on transparency. Past editions have focused on water, industrial waste and chemistry, as the event has sought to inform and inspire those who recognize the need for change in the denim industry. This time, the summit, will be sponsored by Rivet magazine.
The biannual events will host panel discussions amongst industry stakeholders along with interactive sessions with representatives of the fibre, textile, technology, chemical, and machinery sectors of the denim industry. Each daylong event, which will feature transparency panels and speakers, will precede the Kingpins Show in Amsterdam.
The Amsterdam event will take place at Amsterdam-based Westergastheater and will feature leading industry speakers. Transformers founder Andrew Olah, says at present most brands aren’t held accountable for their product components. Transparency is the final obligation by brands and retailers to share all existing information about their products.
