Functional Fabric Fair Winter Expands to Three Days
Registration for Functional Fabric Fair Winter in Orlando is open only to verified industry professionals, and separate from PGA Show registration. Both events run on the same dates and times at the OCCC, with Functional Fabric Fair in the Tangerine Ballroom, adjacent to and accessible from West Halls E and F.
The Winter edition will feature more than 100 curated exhibitors presenting the latest high-performance textiles and materials, along with Expert Talks and the Trend Forum spotlighting sustainability and innovation. The fair serves as a sourcing event for brands, designers, product developers and sourcing agents in the golf, racquet, outdoor and activewear markets.
Performance Textiles and Sustainable Sourcing in Focus
Functional Fabric Fair is North America’s premier trade-only sourcing event for high-performance textiles with a focus on sustainability. Building on established editions in Portland (spring and fall) and New York City (summer), the Orlando winter edition brings innovative fabrics and technologies to a wider audience in the golf, outdoor sports and activewear sectors, connecting vetted suppliers with brands committed to sustainable and responsible sourcing.
Connecting Performance Fabric Suppliers With the Golf Industry
“Golf apparel is one of the most active categories for performance fabric innovation, and brands want suppliers who deliver on function, durability and sustainability,” said Steve McCullough, Event Vice President, Functional Fabric Fair. “Placing the fair alongside the PGA Show puts those suppliers in the same building as the designers and product developers who need them, during a week when the whole golf industry is in Orlando.”
