Kornit Konnections 2026 Opens Speaker and Partner Submissions for Global Apparel Forum
Kornit Konnections 2026 has opened its call for speakers and solution partners, inviting industry leaders to contribute to an invitation-only forum focused on the future direction of the global digital apparel ecosystem.
Kornit Konnections has announced the opening of speaker proposals and partner participation submissions for its 2026 edition. Interested individuals and organisations can submit their interest via https://www.kornitkonnections.com or by contacting mailto:konnections@kornit.com.
Scheduled as an invitation-led, community-driven event, Konnections 2026 will convene brands, retailers, manufacturers, printers, technology providers, analysts, and investors to examine emerging models shaping the next phase of the apparel economy. The event builds on the outcomes of Evolve, recognised as the largest virtual apparel conference to date, and aims to advance in-person collaboration and industry alignment.
Industry alignment at a turning point
The global apparel sector is experiencing structural shifts as traditional, forecast-based operating models face increasing pressure from demand volatility, regulatory changes, cultural shifts, and inventory risk. Konnections 2026 is positioned as a collaborative platform where stakeholders examine alternatives to legacy systems and explore evolving operational and strategic frameworks.
Rather than functioning as a conventional trade show, Konnections is structured as a working industry forum designed to support dialogue, shared learning, and collective problem-solving. The 2026 edition will serve as an immersion and launch platform for concepts shaping a more digitally integrated and demand-responsive apparel ecosystem.
Call for speakers
The organisers are currently inviting proposals from industry professionals with expertise across key segments of the apparel value chain, including:
- Apparel and retail leadership
- Supply chain and manufacturing strategy
- Regulatory affairs, public policy, and sustainability
- Inventory management, demand planning, and margin optimisation
- Artificial intelligence, robotics, automation, and advanced manufacturing
- Print-on-demand and promotional products
- Business strategy, consulting, and industry research
Selected speakers are expected to contribute applied insights, emerging perspectives, and engage in structured discussions with peers actively influencing industry transformation.
Call for partners
Konnections 2026 will include a curated Solutions Showcase, developed in collaboration with more than 30 selected partners. The showcase will feature new technologies, applications, and experiential formats relevant to the evolving apparel sector.
While participation is selective and more than half of the available showcase capacity has already been filled, submissions from solution providers offering advanced, application-driven, and customer-focused innovations are currently being reviewed.

Speaker proposals and partner inquiries are now being accepted. Interested parties are encouraged to submit their interest via mailto:konnections@kornit.com
