Conference now online
(Updated: May 21th 2020)
Ninety years ago in Paris, representatives from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the UK and then Czechoslovakia created a permanent forum for the Wool industry to address matters of wool trade and wool science – the very same mandate that guides IWTO today.
As in previous years the “Young Professionals Programm” for people who are working in the industry, aged 35 years and younger, will be part of the conference. The Programme provides the rare opportunity to gain an insider’s view of the global industry. IWTO has been pleased to be able to welcome more than 100 Young Professionals since the programme’s inception in 2012.
Topics of this years conference are:
- What does wool’s future market look like?
- Market Intelligence: Outlook and trends in wool trade
- Shaping sustainability with wool
- Wool product innovation and development
- Health and Wellness with wool
