IWTO Congress 2024

Join us for an IWTO Congress like no other!

The IWTO Congress, hosted this year by Wool Industries Australia (WIA) in conjunction with IWTO, is the annual meeting point for the global wool industry. It is a key time for woolgrowers, traders, primary processors, spinners, weavers, garment manufacturers to meet with retailers, fashion designers and other companies involved within the global wool supply chain.

This year, we’ll take you to Adelaide, Australia and the iconic Adelaide Oval, where you’ll be right in the heart of a vibrant city centre.  Attractions, restaurants, the Riverbank entertainment district and more await, as we welcome you to Adelaide where the first bale of wool was exported more than 200 years ago.

The Australian Wool Sustainability Scheme is managed by the Australian Wool Exchange (AWEX) and is an evolution of the former SustainaWOOL Integrity Scheme.

Revitalised scheme to set new benchmark for sustainable wool production assurance A new integrity and sustainability program will boost Australia’s position as a globally recognised supplier of sustainably and responsibly grown wool and set a new standard for wool production and sourcing.
