Take the stage at SFF26: speaker submissions are now open
Calling the thinkers, doers, and disruptors.
This April, SFF returns to Portland with a reimagined experience that puts consumer behavior and psychology at the center of the sustainability conversation— and as always, we’re opening the stage to the voices shaping what’s next.
For nearly a decade, the Sustainable Fashion Forum has been where fashion’s sustainability conversation gets real. We’ve sparked bold dialogue, challenged industry norms, and turned quiet thoughts into collective action. Now, as the industry faces mounting pressure to turn commitments into measurable progress, SFF26 is zeroing in on what’s been missing: the human side of change.
We’re calling on the thinkers, doers, and disruptors redefining how the industry connects sustainability with people, the brand leaders, behavioral scientists, cultural strategists, innovators, policymakers, and creative thinkers pushing the conversation forward.
If your work challenges assumptions, bridges systems and behavior, or helps brands turn sustainability intent into action, we want to hear from you.
We’re especially interested in stories and insights that explore:
How behavioral science can inform circular design, marketing, and consumption
The intersection of culture, identity, and sustainability
Case studies that reveal what drives real-world behavior change
Cross-sector collaboration that bridges awareness and action
“This year, we’re building a program that brings together the thinkers, doers, and disruptors helping the industry truly understand what motivates change,” says Brittany Sierra, Founder and CEO of the Sustainable Fashion Forum.
Across three days of keynotes, panels, and workshops, SFF26 will bring together global brands, innovators, and experts to build a new playbook grounded in the science of what actually drives behavior.

The next phase of progress requires pairing systems change with a deeper understanding of people—the emotions, identities, and cultural forces that shape what they buy and why.
