- In April 2024, Adelaide proudly hosted the 93rd International Wool Textile Organisation (IWTO) Congress, marking its return to Australia after a decade. This five-day event brought together over 450 delegates from across the global wool industry, including growers, processors, designers, and retailers, to discuss the theme "An Industry Interwoven."
The event began with a powerful and moving Welcome to Country by Petiola Wilson and family, delivered on the hallowed turf of Adelaide Oval. This moment was incredibly moving and utterly unforgettable for the guests and set the tone for an extraordinary week ahead. The program featured a dynamic three-day conference covering topics such as global consumer trends, wool market intelligence, sustainability, and education for future generations . Complementing the conference were vibrant social events, including a Welcome Cocktail Party, the iconic Great Australian Barbeque, and a Gala Dinner showcasing a wool fashion parade.
