Programme highlights
The highly-acclaimed Premier Symposium provides attendees the opportunity to listen and learn from industry leaders and subject matter experts as they discuss some of the most pivotal advancements in research and technology and shed light on the current global economic state and its effects across industries.
Those who purchase symposium passes will attend sessions on hot topics including smart textiles, new fibre developments, advancements in nonwovens, and sessions that will address innovations in textiles for industry-specific applications including medical, aerospace, personal protection and more.
For the first time, Techtextil North America 2019 will offer a la carte pricing, giving visitors the flexibility to pick and choose the sessions most relevant to them, as well as a ‘Full Experience’ option, which includes three-day exhibit hall access, entry into all Symposium sessions, as well as shuttle transportation and entry into the reception and tours at North Carolina State University.
A brand-new show floor feature to Techtextil North America is ‘The Lab’ Testing Demonstration Area. This is a demonstration and learning area featuring equipment and technology for textile testing and standards. Participation in The Lab will provide exhibiting companies with amazing opportunities for additional exposure and give visitors the chance to experience textile testing first hand, discover new testing methods and educate themselves on the latest in industry standards.
The annual Graduate Student Poster Programme has become a must-visit show floor attraction for visitors at Techtextil North America. This year, the Programme is open to undergraduate students, as well as those pursuing their master’s or PhD. Students from around the world will have a platform to share their research findings with peers and potential employers/sponsors, and a chance to present their research in front of a captive audience during the three days of Tech Talks, which will be located on the show floor and will once again be powered by The Nonwovens Institute.
