The (DE-FI) Table™ | Invitation Request

The (DE-FI) Table™ is a quarterly, invitation-only convening series centered on conversation, connection, collaboration, and access across the fashion ecosystem.

Each Table brings together a curated mix of designers, models, educators, retailers, fashionpreneurs, creatives, industry professionals, industry supporters, and community partners engaged in or adjacent to the business of fashion. The intimate nature of these gatherings is designed to support meaningful engagement, alignment, and authentic relationship building.

Submission of this form does not guarantee attendance. Invitations are typically issued two to four weeks prior to each scheduled experience and are sent directly from info@defiglobalinc.com. Selected guests will be given a limited timeframe to RSVP and confirm participation. We strongly encourage individuals requesting access to monitor both their inbox and spam folders for updates and invitation communications.
