DAY 2026 │THURSDAY, 02 JULY 2026 │ FRANKFURT, GERMANY
TIME AND PLACE
The fourth edition of the Apparel Sourcing Club DAY took place on Thursday, 02 July 2026, from 9:00 – 18h00 at the Steigenberger Frankfurter Hof in Frankfurt am Main. For the fourth time, the event brought together key players in the industry under one roof – in a familiar setting and with a growing international significance.
THE DAY AT A GLANCE
This fourth edition was organised in cooperation with and with the support of GermanFashion Modeverband Deutschland e.V. Selected and vetted manufacturers from more than 10 countries presented their samples and competencies. On the Sourcer-side, the DAY attracted 49 companies with more than 60 persons. The DAY thus offered a high-quality platform for our members to specifically discover new partners, initiating concrete business relationships.
SPECIAL WORKWEAR SEGMENT
In addition to the comprehensive range of apparel for women, men, kids and sportswear, a special emphasis was placed on the workwear and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) segment. This area is characterised by specific requirements – which is why we are so pleased to have presented selected exhibitors who meet these challenges with a high level of expertise and a proven track record!
SERVICE EXPERT TALK powered by GermanFashion
A special highlight was offered by GermanFashion: Two experts were available in personal consultation slots to answer questions from Sourcers and Manufacturers alike, on pressing subjects in the industry:
• Dr. David Biskup – Expert for Pollutant Management & Ecology
• Till Kramer – Expert for Customs & Foreign Trade
NETWORKING & EXCHANGE
In addition to targeted supplier searches, the DAY offered ample opportunity for relaxed and personal networking within the industry – an ideal opportunity to cultivate existing contacts and gain new insights.
We look forward to welcoming our members in 2027 (date and location to be published shortly)!
