2012 will be the presentation of the prestigious 2012 Visionary Award, created to recognize the most innovative use of nonwoven fabrics used in a consumer product. Finalists will make presentations to VISION 2012 attendees, who will then vote on the recipient of the 2012 Visionary Award. The recipient will be announced on the final day of VISION 2012.

The finalists for the 2012 Visionary Award are:

1. BandZorb Disposable Headwear Liners, BandZorb LLC
2. IntelliDent Toothbrush Holder, E4 Technologies
3. The Bra Liner, Gelok International
4. O'Cedar ProMist Disposable Floor Cleaning Pad, Tietex International
5. Stomp 'N Go Stain Lifting Pad, Bissell Homecare

In addition to the Kick-off Reception at Pat O'Brien's, there will be expanded networking opportunities at VISION 2012 with two nights of Tabletop Displays and Networking Receptions. Vendors from the complete nonwovens/consumer products value chain will showcase their products during the Table-Top Displays and Receptions, making it an ideal opportunity to reach current and potential new customers from around the world.

After a successful debut at VISION 2011, the well-received “Speed Networking” session will also return. Described as “compressed networking in a low-pressure environment,” Speed Networking provides attendees with three minutes to talk and share business cards with a fellow attendee before moving on to make another connection. Space is limited and pre-registration is required.

A special event during VISION 2012 will be the inaugural Second Harvest Volunteer Opportunity on January 26. INDA will thank its gracious host city by inviting VISION attendees to join the INDA staff for an afternoon of community service. INDA will provide transportation to Second Harvest, a regional food bank, to sort, box and repackage donated food to be directed to hungry families throughout New Orleans. Afterwards, volunteers will be INDA's guest for dinner and an evening of jazz.
