The third edition of Neonyt, the hub for fashion, sustainability and innovation, as its organizer Messe Frankfurt calls it, follows Panorama and will also take place at Berlin's Tempelhof airport. Change is in the air: "Air" is the thematic motto of Neonyt for the year 2020. "Change fashion together. That is our vision. Through collaboration and innovation, sustainability and technology. Our claim is clearly defined–we are the leading event, the catalyst and presenter for the fashion and changing sustainability issues in the textile industry," says Thimo Schwenzfeier, show director of Neonyt. At the start of Neonyt Dr. Daniel Terberger, CEO of Katag AG, will speak about the understanding of sustainability of the largest German fashion service provider at the Fashionsustain Stage on Tuesday, January 14, 2020. Shortly afterward, the panel "SDGs X Fashion–The UN's Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action" will open the discussion part of the conference. It will feature, among others, Lucie Brigham, chief of office for the United Nations Office for Partnerships, Zachary Angelini, environmental stewardship manager at Timberland, Alexander Gege, manager of sustainable business development at the Otto Group, and Harold Weghorst, global vice president of marketing at Lenzing AG.
