Running alongside the 2nd Asia Sourcing Show 2026 (Textiles & Apparel) from 3 – 4 June 2026 at IMPACT Exhibition & Convention Center, Bangkok, the Global Sourcing Summit 2026 will convene industry leaders, policymakers, global brands, manufacturers, and sourcing executives for strategic dialogue on the future of global textile and apparel sourcing.
The Summit will address the major forces reshaping the industry - including supply chain diversification, geopolitical realignments, sustainability mandates, digital transformation, innovation, and the growing role of ASEAN and Asia as the world’s next strategic sourcing hub.
The presence of the International Apparel Federation (IAF) as a Strategic Partner, together with the European Apparel and Textile Confederation (EURATEX), further reinforces the Summit’s global relevance and international stature.
This convergence of stakeholders is transforming the Show and Summit into a truly pan-Asian and globally connected sourcing ecosystem - bringing together Asian manufacturers, exporters, regional and international buyers, policymakers, trade associations, investors, and technology innovators under one integrated platform.
Bangkok has been strategically selected as the host city due to its central position in Asia, strong connectivity, and growing importance in global supply chain realignment and regional trade integration.
Positioned as a one-of-a-kind high-level gathering of the global sourcing ecosystem, the Summit will feature influential voices from international federations & associations, regional industry leaders, brands, sourcing offices, manufacturers, and innovators - to discuss the future of global textile and apparel supply chains in a rapidly changing world and create a powerful platform for dialogue, collaboration, networking, and business development.
The Global Sourcing Summit 2026 is designed for decision-makers seeking to understand where global sourcing is heading - and how Asia is positioning itself at the center of the industry’s next chapter.
