The Professional Clothing Industry Association Worldwide (PCIAW®) is proud to announce that the internationally acclaimed PCIAW® Summit, Exhibition & Awards 2026 will be returning to London, UK, this 21st – 22nd October at the De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms.
Scheduled to follow the success of the 2025 Summit and Awards held at the Hilton London Bankside in October 2025, this year’s Summit “The Implementation Phase” remains focused on supporting innovation across the value chain.
The 2025 edition explored “The Digital Transition,” highlighting traceability tools such as Digital Product Passports, enterprise integration solutions, supply chain transparency platforms and circular services designed to meet evolving compliance requirements.
Attendees at the PCIAW® Summit will have opportunities to engage with expert speakers, participate in interactive workshops and network with suppliers, manufacturers and buyers from around the world. Sessions cover a range of critical topics, from digital tools that enhance product lifecycle visibility, to integration of advanced software for supply chain management, and discussions on verifiable end-of-life recycling strategies for workwear and PPE.
The Summit will take place at the prestigious De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms, located in the heart of London’s Covent Garden. Just moments from the West End and within walking distance of landmarks such as the Royal Opera House and Somerset House, the venue also offers convenient access to Trafalgar Square, the Houses of Parliament and other central London attractions via nearby transport links.
The PCIAW® also encourages delegates to secure their hotel rooms as soon as possible, as availability at the venue and nearby hotels may be limited closer to the time.
