About Konnections

WE ARE THE
MOVEMENT

More than an event, a year-round movement. Konnections is where the apparel industry stops watching change happen and starts making it.

Our Vision

“To create the connected apparel ecosystem that enables every part of the industry to win , together.”

The Konnections vision

Our Mission

Ending the era of guesswork.

For a century, apparel has been built on guesswork, long runs, long lead times, and mountains of unsold inventory. Konnections exists to end that era: a community where the industry designs its on-demand future in the open, not behind closed doors.

We bring brands, producers, supply chain leaders, and experts into one connected conversation, because transforming apparel isn’t a technology problem alone. It’s an alignment problem, and no single player can solve it in isolation.

From the flagship conference to FABRIC Webinars, the Kornit Tech Lab, the Raising the Stakes podcast, and local events around the world, Konnections keeps the movement in motion 365 days a year, turning connections into collaboration, and collaboration into an industry that wins together.
