Leading fashion retail’s tech transformation


The fashion industry is evolving at extraordinary speed, and technology is increasingly at the heart of that transformation.


For 2027, Drapers Future of Fashion and Drapers Social Summit are joining forces to become Drapers Fashion Tech Summit , creating one powerful new event focused on the technologies and innovations reshaping fashion retail.


Bringing together senior fashion leaders, digital pioneers, technology experts and innovators, the summit will explore how artificial intelligence, data, digital commerce, social platforms, customer technology and emerging innovation are changing the way fashion businesses operate, engage customers and grow.


This is where fashion meets technology – and where the industry comes together to understand what is next. Free to attend for fashion retailers and brands.
