The 2nd Asia Sourcing Show 2026 (Textiles & Apparel), taking place from 3 – 5 June 2026 at the IMPACT Exhibition & Convention Center in Bangkok, is being organized jointly by CEMS-Global USA and ASEAN Federation of Textile Industries (AFTEX). Positioned as a high-impact, multi-country sourcing marketplace, the show will bring together leading manufacturers from across Asia with regional and global buyers, responding directly to the ongoing transformation of global supply chains.

This edition represents a significant elevation of the platform, with strong global and regional alignment:

           ASEAN Federation of Textile Industries (AFTEX) as Co-Organizer
          International Apparel Federation (IAF) – Netherlands as Strategic Partner
          China Chamber of Commerce for Import & Export of Textiles (CCCT) as Partner
          From Thailand: National Federation of Thai Textile Industries (NFTTI) and Thailand Textile Institute
(THTI) as Supporting Organizations, actively mobilizing Thai  manufacturers

At a time when the global textile and apparel industry is undergoing a structural transformation driven by geopolitics, supply chain diversification, and sustainability imperatives, ASEAN, especially Thailand, stands at a pivotal moment to emerge as a leading global sourcing hub.

Running alongside the exhibition, the Global Sourcing Summit 2026 will convene industry leaders, policymakers, and global brands for strategic dialogue on the future of sourcing – covering key themes such as supply chain resilience, sustainability, innovation, and evolving trade dynamics.

The International Apparel Federation (IAF) is our Strategic Partner. Dr. Dirk Vantyghem, Director General of the European Apparel and Textile Confederation (EURATEX), based in Brussels, has also confirmed his presence, further reinforcing the Summit’s global relevance and stature.

This convergence of stakeholders is transforming the Show and Summit into a truly pan-Asian, globally relevant sourcing ecosystem – bringing together Asian manufacturers, exporters, regional and global buyers, policymakers, and industry leaders under one integrated platform.

Bangkok has been intentionally selected as the host city – not only due to its strategic geographic position at the heart of Asia, but also its growing importance in global supply chain realignment and regional trade integration.
