Hi everyone.
There will be a virtual conference at North Carolina State University’s Wilson College of Textiles on growing and processing hemp fiber (Cannabis sativa). If you are unfamiliar with NCState’s textiles program and facilities, it is
one of the active undergraduate and graduate level textile science and apparel programs in the United States with one of the best textiles research libraries.
The upcoming conference will be virtual and the registration fee is $99. The “free for students” refers to
NCState students only.
Please scroll down to “agenda” to see the listing of the presentation topics and names/affiliations of the authors.
You are welcome to share this announcements with anyone that you think might be interested!

We have gathered some of the most knowledgeable and compelling change-makers in the sector in order to facilitate
a conference with impact. We all know and have attended that conference that feels like preaching to the choir with no actionable change to accompany it.
The purpose of Evolving Textiles is to define the current landscape in terms of alternative fibers and circularity in textiles and explore the direction for the future. We will identify challenges and opportunities with the intention of developing attainable
goals and work toward having a measurable impact on sustainability in the textile industry over time.
We are proud to welcome speakers from Spain, Sweden, England, Singapore, and all over the United States with the opportunity for question and answer with each speaker.
