ApparelCamp is a community-built, industry-led event where BC’s apparel professionals gather to share, learn, and grow.

It’s not just a conference—it’s where the future of BC’s fashion and gear industry is co-created.

Founded in 2016 by Vanessa Fors and Pete Hill, ApparelCamp has become a cornerstone event in the BC apparel calendar

2025 marks the first year the event was run by the BC Apparel & Gear Association. We’re excited to continue carrying the ApparelCamp legacy forward, uniting apparel and gear professionals to grow the event’s impact and support the shared goals of our industry.
