Fashion Tech Summit was successfully held in Kyiv, Ukraine and Paris, France in 2018 and 2019, each year with about 2000 participants in attendance. Speakers from global companies such as Google, Snap, Pinterest, Istituto Marangoni, University of Arts London, Stanford University, Net-a-Porter, Business of Fashion and many others gave their lectures during the event in the past. Its main mission was to merge fashion and tech industries.

In 2020, Fashion Tech Summit became an online event. The recent edition was devoted to digital fashion as a new phenomenon for the industry. Speakers from Vice Media Group, The Institute of Digital Fashion, Snap and other companies shared their views on the future of the industry of digital clothing.

In 2021, FTS team continues to educate its audience about new and important topics in the industry. This edition will be dedicated to digital sustainability.

Many high-profile scientists agree that we need to become carbon neutral by 2050. The climate change threat we’re facing is too complicated for one company to solve it alone. With the help and guidance from our speakers, we will be discussing ways of how to contribute to the changes in the fashion industry in the best possible way.
