Since 2006, Prime Source Forum has been held in Hong Kong every year.
Bringing together senior management from across the globe to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing manufacturers, suppliers and retailers involved in the production and sale of garments/textiles
This international event also offers ample opportunity for delegates to network with their peers, mingle with the expert panelists and exchange ideas with their peers and competitors alike on issues of mutual interest.
More than 400 senior executives from 25 countries, representing all sectors of the global supply chain, participated in Prime Source Forum 2008 and its related Workshops.
Dr. William Fung, Group Managing Director of Li & Fung, and Deputy Secretary General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), Rufus Yerxa, were among the distinguished speakers at the most recent Forum, offering their overviews on the apparel industry.
The fourth edition of this annual meeting will take place again in Hong Kong and promises to be even more popular than ever, with many 2008 delegates having already confirmed their interest in the 2009 Forum.
