Texworld USA and Apparel Sourcing USA returns this week with a virtual three-day event, spanning about 40 different product categories.
Organisers say more than 400 exhibiting companies from 15 countries, including Canada, Pakistan, China, Taiwan, India, Turkey, and the United States will be on hand to showcase their apparel fabrics, trims and accessories at the virtual summer edition, which runs from 21-23 July.
Visitors can take advantage of the AI-powered matchmaking capabilities to get a list of recommended textile suppliers, set up video meetings, catch up on trends and gather insights from the educational sessions.
Live streaming each day of Textile Talks and the Lenzing Seminar Series will feature experts and thought leaders focused on sharing their experiences and knowledge. Interactive presentations will address a variety of topics, including sessions entitled ‘Demand Planning during a Crisis’ and ‘Building Your Business – Why aren’t you near-shoring?’
“Amidst the current environmental and economic situation, we are pleased to be providing a means for the textile sourcing community to continue to exchange information and connect with suppliers across the globe,” says Jennifer Bacon, show director, fashion and apparel, Messe Frankfurt North America. “Our belief in face-to-face interaction remains constant, but there’s a new normal emerging and we are excited to have found a way to pivot our event to keep our commitment to supporting the industry.”
A raft of trade shows and fairs have been cancelled or postponed on the back of health and travel concerns related to Covid-19. For many organisers it has been a chance to offer a digital alternative to the physical shows such as the Apparel Textile Sourcing Virtual (ATSV) show and Kingpins24.
