Earlier this month, organisers of Techtextil North America and Texprocess Americas announced that the co-located events, initially scheduled for May 12-14, would be postponed to December 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic. They have now announced that the postponement has been rescheduled, and the co-located events will take place from October 1-3, 2020.
“Although not ideal, the December dates provided were the only viable option at the time of our postponement inquiry to the Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC). However, we shared the concerns of many of our exhibiting and visiting companies regarding the holidays and year-end processes, and after tireless communication between our team and those at the GWCC, we have been able to secure the new dates of October 1-3, 2020 for Techtextil North America and Texprocess Americas.The new dates are more suitable for both local and international exhibitors,” said show director Kristy Meade.
The new dates have received an overwhelmingly positive response from the exhibitor base thus far. The team is looking forward to aiding in the global recovery of the technical textiles, nonwovens, and sewn products industries by providing a platform where industry professionals can once again gather to exchange knowledge, new ideas, and business.
Techtextil North America is Incorporated with ATME-I. Texprocess Americas is co-produced by SPESA.
