NEW YORK | March 24, 2020 | On April 22-23 – the original dates of the now-cancelled Kingpins Amsterdam denim supply chain trade show – Kingpins Show organizers will debut Kingpins24, a two-day online denim conference and event to bring the global denim industry together. The denim industry, like all international business, has been heavily disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. But the denim community still needs to connect to share ideas, information and inspiration for the Fall/Winter 2021 season.
“We, as a whole, are resilient, resourceful and optimistic,” said Andrew Olah, founder of Kingpins Show. “When one door closes another opens. We believe Kingpins24 can give our global industry a chance to connect and share information. We have no other desire but to be a conduit for the denim world during these difficult times, where most of us, including me, are at home far away from our normal world.”
Olah will act as the host of Kingpins24 and will enlist a cast of industry players to help him.
Kingpins24 will not take the place of a Kingpins trade show. Instead, Kingpins organizers will distill the content, energy and point of view that make Kingpins Shows unique and bring that same mind frame and approach to an online event. The goal is for attendees to have an understanding of the denim supply chain’s offerings for the F/W 2021 season and much, much more.
To that end, Kingpins24 will feature a two-day live stream of exhibitor content (think line presentations, sustainability and CSR updates, etc.) as well as panels, interviews, casual conversations and more, plus on-demand content from Kingpins’ industry partners and friends.
Kingpins24 will go live at 9AM CET (Central European Time) on April 22 and wrap up at midnight on April 23.
Register HERE for Kingpins24 – all members of the denim industry are welcome to join.
