Consumer behavior has entered the chat. 🧠

For the first time ever, we’re dedicating the entire Sustainable Fashion Forum to consumer behavior, consumer psychology, and the science of adoption.

And we’re bringing together an incredible group of behavioral scientists and sustainability leaders from Patagonia, Yale University, Climate Pledge Friendly, ThredUp, and more to help us unpack one of the biggest questions facing sustainability today:

How do you create products, programs, and systems that people actually want to participate in?

Because building better systems is only part of the challenge. The other part is creating the adoption, demand, and participation needed to make those systems work.

If your work depends on trust, behavior change, and turning sustainability into measurable business outcomes, this is the room to be in.

The fashion industry has spent years building the systems sustainability depends on. SFF26 is designed to address the gap those systems can’t solve on their own: participation.

Whether you’re building circular systems, guiding sustainability inside a global brand, or integrating sustainability into retail strategy, the outcome is the same: you need adoption to prove business value.

The 2026 Sustainable Fashion Forum tackles the missing link between sustainability strategy and real-world traction, exploring how consumer behavior drives, strengthens, or stalls every initiative.

If your work depends on adoption, trust, and measurable outcomes, this is the room you need to be in.

Our annual conference is BACK!! And consumer behavior has entered the chat!! 🎉🥳👏🏾

For years, the sustainable fashion industry has focused on building better systems: preferred materials, circular models, supply chain transparency, and third-party certifications.

But systems change alone won’t move sustainability at scale.

You can build the infrastructure and adoption will STILL underperform because you designed for intent, not actual behavior.

If you work in sustainable fashion, you’re in the behavior change business. But most sustainability leaders were trained to build systems, not engineer participation.

SFF26 is where that changes.

October 28–30 in PDX, we’re bringing together behavioral scientists, consumer psychologists, and senior leaders from brands, retailers, and government to close the gap between sustainable systems and the consumer participation that makes them work.

This isn’t about “marketing sustainability better.”

SFF26 is about scaling sustainability inside REAL business structures under REAL commercial pressure.

If you’re asking customers to take an extra step: return, scan, repair, pay more, trust a claim, you’re in the behavior change business managing friction. And friction is a design problem.

At SFF26, sustainability, marketing, and product leaders learn what actually drives adoption so they can increase participation, defend budgets, and tie sustainability to measurable business impact.

The industry is building the systems of the future. SFF26 is about unlocking the behavior that fuels them.

Grab your early-bird ticket and build the participation strategy your roadmap is missing.
