Keeping its finger on the pulse of the sector: at the up-coming Techtextil (14 to 17 May 2019), this leading international trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens will be offering the Techtextil Forum on all four days of the show. With lectures, discussions and interactive sessions, the Forum provides a framework for dialogue between exhibitors and the show’s trade visitors, including researchers, developers and users involved in the field of technical textiles. Anyone interested in giving a talk at these sessions is invited to submit their suggested topics by 7 November.

“The new Techtextil Forum will be situated right in the exhibition hall. That way, both the exhibitors and the trade visitors will have the opportunity to attend lectures of their choice in between their various other appointments at the show and to participate spontaneously in discussions. This means that we shall be able, at Techtextil, to provide additional stimulus for dialogue within the sector. In this respect, the Forum which will be free-of-charge takes the place of the Techtextil Symposium,” says Michael Jänecke, Director Brand Management Technical Textiles and Textile Processing at Messe Frankfurt.
