First Ever Virtual Home Textiles Sourcing Expo Coming up Next Month
15 giugno 2020
New platform connects globally
Opening day is getting closer for the first-ever virtual Home Textiles Sourcing Expo, connecting Asian and overseas resources with American buyers, importers and wholesalers. The show, which has been the only event in North America to solely focus on fabrics and finished soft goods for all home applications, has traditionally been at New York City’s Javits Convention Center but due to the unprecedented conditions brought about by the coronavirus pandemic, it is going virtual this year.
The dates – July 21 to 23 – remain the same, making it the first event for the home textiles industry to ever be held virtually. “Home Textiles Sourcing will continue to provide manufacturers, retailers, jobbers, converters, contract specifiers and designers a dedicated avenue to locate new fabrics and products for their latest home collections, but this year we’ll be doing it virtually,” said Jennifer Bacon, show director for the event, which is organized by Messe Frankfurt. “This makes it easier for those companies planning on attending as they no longer need to be concerned with travel arrangements and can conduct their business in a more convenient way,” she added. The new virtual platform will expand opportunities to reach industry professionals across the United States, Europe, Asia and abroad, explore innovations in every textile segment and engage with key decision makers.
The show will offer:
- Free access to sourcing, education and more
- AI-powered matchmaking that calculates and recommends the most relevant connections
- Dynamic online showrooms with vivid customization
- Live chats, virtual networking
- Interactive educational programming
- Flexibility to engage at the user’s convenience during the live event and beyond
The show runs concurrently with Texworld USA and Apparel Sourcing USA.
