EMPOWERING SUSTAINABLE FASHION ELEVATING YOUR BRAND
Important Announcement: AFBC 2025 Event Cancellation & Transition to Online Format
We regret to announce that the Asian Fashion Business Conference (AFBC) 2025, originally scheduled to take place in person at BCEC Brisbane from 17-19 March 2025, has been cancelled due to severe weather conditions caused by Tropical Cyclone Alfred and the ongoing flooding situation.
The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) has issued official warnings predicting heavy rainfall, strong winds, and significant disruptions to transport and infrastructure. Given these extreme conditions, and after careful consultation with Tourism and Events Queensland (TEQ), the City of Brisbane, and key stakeholders, the Creative Asia Foundation (CAF) has made the difficult decision to cancel the physical event in the interest of everyone’s safety.
⚠ Travel Advisory:
• If you have planned to attend AFBC in person, please do not depart from your country.
• For any flight changes, itinerary adjustments, or refund policies, kindly contact your local travel agency or airline provider directly.
Transition to Virtual Conference:
Despite the cancellation of the in-person event, AFBC 2025 will now take place as an exclusive two-day (18 & 19 March) virtual conference, ensuring continued access to valuable industry insights. This online experience will bring together industry leaders, sustainability experts, and business innovators to discuss the latest trends and opportunities in fashion, procurement, and sustainability.
We appreciate your understanding and ongoing support during this time. Further details on the virtual event schedule will be announced soon.
Please stay safe, and we look forward to connecting with you online.
For any inquiries, please contact our team.
