It’s never easy to outdo yourself, especially when each edition raises the bar. But that’s exactly what we’ve set out to do with ASW 2025, scheduled for 2nd-3rd July at the Sheraton Grand, Whitefield in Bengaluru. Now in its 5th edition, ASW is back with more exhibitors, more innovation, more startups and more impact. This year’s event brings together everything the industry loved before and adds exciting new elements to make the experience even better.
As an industry-leading platform dedicated to connecting apparel manufacturers with relevant buyers, ASW has carved a niche by balancing trade-focused exhibits with deep-diving discussions around the future of the apparel and textile industry. With the overwhelming response that the 2024 edition got, the 2025 edition is poised to be bigger and better than ever, with a much larger scale, both in terms of the expo and the conference.
Attendees can expect to interact with over 150+ garment manufacturers from across the spectrum of the apparel and textile industry, each selected for their commitment to quality, scalability, and innovation. These include the leading manufacturers in India offering everything from shirts, T-shirts, trousers, jackets and denim to sweaters and much more. The event expects over 10,000+ sourcing leaders and key decision makers attending, from the entire fashion supply chain.
What sets ASW apart is its thoughtfully curated content lineup as well as concurrently held shows complementing the main event. The 2025 edition will have a concurrent show, Textile Sourcing Week, that will witness 75+ fabric and accessories manufacturers from around the globe with new and innovative product portfolios. This will be strengthened by the Leap Summit – a concurrently held start-up show that will witness 50+ start-ups, each of which could be the next big thing in fashion.
The 2025 edition will host multiple knowledge platforms which include workshops, seminars, open-house discussions, fireside chats, masterclasses and vendor sessions on various current topics and subjects. Speakers include thought leaders from the top brands and manufacturing houses, creating a collaborative environment where insight meets action. Discussions will range from a gamut of topics including small order quantities, sportswear, sustainability, sneakers, textile toys, garment sourcing, fashion supply chain, distribution strategies and much more.
Importantly, ASW is a meeting ground for sourcing heads, retail merchandisers, sustainability leads, and start-up founders. Networking opportunities, buyer interactions, and informative sessions ensure that knowledge-sharing goes hand-in-hand with deal-making.
For apparel professionals looking to refresh their supplier base, explore sustainable alternatives, or simply understand where fashion sourcing is headed, ASW 2025 is shaping up to be an unmissable date on the industry calendar.
