"We are pleased to announce that this year’s Techtextil North America, hosted in Chicago, Illinois, resulted in a 40 per cent increase in attendance over the 2015 edition. Over the course of three days, the event garnered a dynamic audience – with visitors from geographies and verticals not represented at previous editions of the show. This significant growth in attendance indicates the industry’s increasing demand for international networking opportunities, and we are proud to provide a forum that facilitates new business relationships and encourages global innovation for the textile industry,” said Dennis Smith, president and CEO of Messe Frankfurt North America. There was 60 per cent growth in space rented by overseas exhibitors.
The show included five sessions with 23 industry expert presentations that covered the topics of advancements in manufacturing and waste minimisation, innovations in automotive design, smart textiles and wearables, and overcoming talent sourcing challenges in the industry. Tech talks were also held at Techtextil.
"Techtextil (North America) gives Bostik the opportunity to showcase our technical solutions for an evolving textile market while meeting with industry professionals," said Igor Leclere, business director for the Americas Industrial Adhesives Unit, Bostik.
The fifteenth edition of Techtextil North America co-located with Texprocess Americas will be held from May 22-24, 2018 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. Techtextil North America and Texprocess Americas are set to attract upwards of 9,000 visitors, an estimation of over 500 exhibitors and feature a symposium schedule with more than 120 speakers from across the Indus.
