Today, 4th June 2026, the next generation of leaders came together to exchange ideas, challenge conventions, and shape the future of sourcing, manufacturing, trade, and innovation across Asia and beyond.
The first-ever NexGen CEOs Roundtable 2026 was held on the sidelines of the Global Sourcing Summit 2026 and 2nd Asia Sourcing Show 2026 (Textiles & Apparel) at IMPACT in Bangkok, and it was more than a gathering - it was a powerful meeting of minds committed to building a smarter, more resilient and more connected global textile & apparel ecosystem.
How can the Asian Textile and Apparel Industry stakeholders gather in Bangkok to redefine the future of the global textile and apparel industry, without involving the future generation of the Industry?
To every participating delegate - thank you for bringing your insights, energy, ambition, and leadership to the table.
🔹 This was not a Roundtable; this was a statement
🔹 The conversations started here in Bangkok will continue far beyond these walls.
🔹 New partnerships have begun.
🔹 New ideas are already in motion.
