The fashion industry is evolving quickly, and businesses across footwear, apparel and accessories are preparing for shifts in consumer behaviour, category demand and product expectations. AFA United in Style 2026, taking place February 8 to 10 at the Toronto Congress Centre, brings the entire national industry together to understand what is coming next. The show provides buyers, wholesalers and suppliers with early access to new collections that will shape future seasons, while also delivering insight into emerging trends that are influencing production and retail strategies. Companies that attend are positioning themselves ahead of the curve at a moment when change is constant.
AFA United in Style has become the only national event that unites these categories in one location. The result is an efficient buying and networking environment where product lines, market evolution and business priorities can be evaluated in real time. The ability to compare offerings and meet with multiple suppliers in a single venue continues to be a major advantage for retailers who want to make informed decisions under tight timelines. The event also gives brands an opportunity to present their collections to qualified buyers who are actively preparing for upcoming assortment planning.
The 2026 edition of AFA United in Style builds on a long tradition of helping Canadian businesses anticipate what is ahead. Attendees will see new ideas, reconnect with industry partners and gain clarity on how the market is moving. The event has been designed to support companies that want to lead with confidence, and it provides one of the most effective ways to prepare for the next buying cycle. For professionals who understand that agility and foresight are essential, AFA United in Style 2026 is a must-attend gathering.
The event takes place at the Toronto Congress Centre, 650 Dixon Road, from February 8-10, 2026.
