2026 Materials Resiliency Panel

Portland Athletic & Outdoor is excited to partner with Portland TextileX Month for a conversation about materials innovation in the apparel and footwear industry. The discussion will take place on October 26 from 5:30-7:00pm and will center on how material choices shape the performance, durability, environmental impact, and circularity of textile products and systems.

The panel brings together Mac Bishop (Wool&Prince / wool&), Shay Carrillo (MADRE Linen), and Karen Lee (Arc’teryx / University of Oregon), moderated by content creator and community builder Kimiko Matsuda. This is a free event, but registration is required.
