ABOUT CONNECTION WIRES

The district culture the excellence of Italian fashion production is based on, the interconnection amongst fashion & luxury companies and amongst systems supporting sustainable transition: the 11th 4sustainability Event – the second On the Road hosted this year by FASAC1955 – will focus on these themes.

From the framework of the European Green Deal to the opportunities offered in Italy by the PNRR (Piano Nazionale Ripresa e Resilienza), including enabling technologies, Event 2024 chooses the combination of innovation and sustainable development as its central theme and identifies interdependence amongst enterprises and interoperability amongst systems as the keys to success. The ambition is to simplify this complexity by drawing parallels between new regulations and business cases that have anticipated their basic requirements.

AGENDA

FAQ | FREQUENT ASKED QUESTIONS

The Event is aimed primarily at fashion & luxury brands and manufacturing companies, consistent with the framework’s historical mission of fostering dialogue and collaboration between brands and the supply chain. Researchers and academics, sustainability and sustainable fashion experts, journalists, and representatives of major international organizations and initiatives engaged in the fashion system’s transition to sustainability are also invited.

Once again this year, participation in the 4sustainability Event is free of charge but by invitation only. From the invitation, you can directly access the application-participation form, which we ask you to fill out in its entirety.

There are no strict rules in this regard, but we are committed to ensuring that as many companies as possible are present. Initially, we will not be able to accept more than two applications per company name. That being said, if you would like to attend the Event with more than one colleague, the suggestion for everyone is to go ahead and send in your application anyway: we will evaluate the numbers at subsequent rounds so that we can give you timely feedback.

There is no way to participate remotely in the 4sustainability Event: the 2024 edition is in-person only.

We have chosen not to specify a deadline this year, but to close applications once the maximum number of eligible attendees has been reached. If you are motivated to attend, we suggest you fill out the online application form embedded in the Event invitation as soon as possible.

Sure. The main thing is that you notify us well in advance giving us the first and last name of the person who will take your place. If you are no longer able to come and no colleague will replace you, it is all the more important that you write to us so as not to preclude others from the possibility: in case of no cancellation or cancellation after September 23 – the deadline for registrations – there is a penalty of € 100.00 that we will allocate to charity. For any communication regarding the Event, the address to refer to is è events@processfactory.it.

Confirmations and feedback are sent in successive blocks depending on when the requests are received. The sender account is events@processfactory.it: check your mail messages regularly including your Spam folder.

If you did not receive an invitation, you may not be in the sending DB, all the more so if you work in a brand or company in the fashion supply chain to which the Event is expressly addressed. Double check your mail, including your Spam folder. If you don’t find anything, you can email us at events@processfactory.it specifying your full name and the company you are part of. Availabilities are limited and we cannot assure your participation with certainty, but we will certainly consider your request by giving you feedback as soon as possible.

After the Event is over, we will consider sharing a summary of the proceedings with participants only.
