Q&A: Techtextil North America and Texprocess Americas 2018

It is no easy feat to organize the two largest tradeshows for the U.S. Technical Textile and Nonwovens Industry and Ali Rosenberger is the one to tell you.  Ali is the Marketing & Conference Manager at Messe Frankfurt Inc. for the Technical Textile, Technology, and Sewn Products & Equipment team. She and the all-woman team are getting ready to welcome more than 560 exhibitors to Atlanta’s Georgia World Congress Center for the 15th edition of Techtextil North America and the fourth edition of Texprocess Americas. Taking place May 22nd through the 24th, the 2018 event will be one to remember. We sat down with Ali for more details about the 2018 event’s expanded agenda and special features.

Briefly introduce Techtextil North America and Texprocess Americas:

Techtextil North America assembles all vertical aspects of the technical textile industry: from research and development, through raw materials and production processes and finally ending in conversion, further treatment, and recycling. Texprocess Americas is the largest North American trade fair for machines, plant, processing, IT systems and services for the development, sourcing, and production of textiles, other flexible materials and sewn products. Combined, these two events make largest technical textiles, nonwovens, machinery, sewn products and equipment trade show in the Americas.
