Texworld New York City (NYC), Apparel Sourcing New York City and Home Textiles Sourcing will return in-person this July with new product categories, partnerships, educational opportunities, curated trends and more. These in-person international shows are set to include brand new invigorated specialty sections and a robust offering of networking.
As a key element and attendee favourite, textile talks and the Lenzing seminar series will also return live on the show floor with an impressive speaker line-up and tailored industry topics. Texworld NYC’s educational programme continues to offer insightful and informative sessions for every role and level of experience across all segments of the industry that include topics that are necessary in today’s environment. In addition to live education, attendees can also discover the trends for F/W 23-24 in the Texworld Trend Showcase curated by New York-based trend agency, TOBE/The Doneger Group, fair organiser said in a press release.
Texworld NYC, Apparel Sourcing NYC, and Home Textiles Sourcing will continue creating opportunities to support the textile community by connecting global manufacturers and suppliers to the US market with hybrid format options: the Sourcing Showroom and the Virtual Platform. This innovative exhibition concept offers those exhibitors still facing travel restrictions the ability to showcase their textiles and finished goods without physically being present at the event. Buyers can return to sourcing, in-person, while still afforded the ability to communicate with participating exhibitors across the virtual platform through matchmaking and one-on-one chat capabilities. Due to the newly issued requirements and extended restrictions, many exhibitors from China and other international regions will be represented in the Sourcing Showroom this July.
To meet market demands, there is an increase of exhibitors representing countries outside of China including Turkey, Egypt, Taiwan, and India. Stemming from this growth, Home Textiles Sourcing will return welcoming an Egyptian Pavilion. Egypt is well-recognised for its cotton production and is a major producer of high-quality silks, linen, and wool.
