Kingpins24 returns with second edition targeted towards US-based denim industry

Set for June 23/24, KINGPINS24 will target the US-based denim industry and expand on the features introduced for the first online event.

It will not take the place of the cancelled Kingpins New York event originally scheduled for June 2/3, but the next edition of KINGPINS24 will target the US denim market specifically.

“It will never replace a Kingpins Show, but KINGPINS24 has proven to be an idea that the denim industry responded to and found valuable,” said Andrew Olah, founder of Kingpins Show and Transformers Foundation. “We’re incredibly humbled by the success of KINGPINS24 and have identified ways in which we can improve on our concept. Our goal remains to be the platform – whether IRL, as the kids say, or online – where the denim industry gathers to share information, ideas, innovation and inspiration. We’re excited for what comes next.”

One key change that will be made to the June KINGPINS24 event will be that members of the denim supply chain that are not Kingpins New York exhibitors will be allowed to apply to join the online event as exhibitors.

The updated KINGPINS24 concept will also include a more streamlined livestream, with a focus on webinars, interviews, panels and conversations. The livestream will go live at 9AM EDT on both days of Kingins24. The livestream will once again be hosted by Olah and Vivian Wang, Kingpins’ managing director and head of global sales, but will include a larger cast of co-hosts and interviewers.
