In tune with the sector: On all four days of the coming Techtextil, the leading international trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens (21 to 24 June 2022), the Techtextil Forum will be the multi-faceted setting for the exchange of ideas and information between exhibitors, visitors, researchers, developers and users of technical textiles with a host of lectures, discussions and interactive formats. Speakers interested in making a presentation at the Techtextil Forum are invited to submit their proposals by 16 February 2022.

“As in the past, the Techtextil Forum 2022 will be held in the exhibition hall itself, which will give both visitors and exhibitors the opportunity to listen to selected lectures or spontaneously contribute to discussions between appointments. The lectures will also be streamed and available on-demand. Thus, the exchange of ideas and information within the sector will not only enrich proceedings at the fair itself but also in the digital sphere after the doors have closed”, says Michael Jänecke, Director Brand Management Technical Textiles and Textile Processing, Messe Frankfurt.
