The AFC Member Lounge

An exclusive space for connection, conversation, and collaboration.

The AFC Member Lounge presented by Afterpay is an exclusive space reserved for AFC Members only. More than a retreat between shows, this is your dedicated space for the connections, conversations and collaborations that shape what’s next.

Meet with buyers, catch up with peers, host meetings with international delegates, or simply take a moment to recharge.

Located on Level 2 at the MCA.

AFC Talks in partnership with Afterpay.

Big ideas. Bold voices. The future of fashion, in conversation.

AFW’s premier thought leadership series for industry curated by the AFC, returns in 2026 with a larger program in partnership with Afterpay. Through a mix of talks, workshops and activations, the program creates structured opportunities for designers, founders and members of the industry eco-system to engage directly with the ideas, tools and relationships most relevant to building globally competitive fashion businesses across the AFC’s four impact areas: Commerce & Trade, Jobs & Skills, Local Manufacturing and Sustainability. Program details will be live soon.
