The Society of Dyers and Colourists International Conference 2024

“This International Conference has been some time coming, partly due to the Covid pandemic, but is very much a response to the survey of the SDC Members who requested more Internationalism in SDC activities. Our activities are global, and I am very excited to invite you to attend this event and hear how we can meet the needs of the world’s population sustainably”. Ullhas Nimkar, SDC President 2022-23 & Chairman at NimkarTek, Mumbai, India “The concepts of Sustainability & Circularity are not new but there are innovative ways of addressing them. As a leading academic I see first-hand many industry issues and I invite you to attend this conference to do the same and see how innovations can be utilised to make positive impacts on our industry and our world”. Prof Chris Carr, SDC President 2023-24 & Professor in Textile Technology, University of Leeds, Leeds, England “This conference will take place not long after I am officially appointed SDC President, but I am very aware its’ development has spanned the terms of office of two previous SDC Presidents. This input makes the conference a fabulous opportunity to hear from the best-of-the-best and adopt innovations that arise at the interfaces of textiles, colour history, natural colorants and other developments such as Artificial Intelligence. I have written on the Story of Colour and I see this event as the next Chapters”. Dr Susan Kay-Williams, SDC President 2024-25 & Chief Executive at Royal School of Needlework, Kingston upon Thames, England
