Earlier last month, organizers of Techtextil North America and
Texprocess Americas announced that the co-located events, initially
scheduled for May 12 to 14, 2020 would be postponed to December 2020 due to
the Covid-19 pandemic. On Monday, the organizers announced that the
postponement has been rescheduled. The co-located events will now take
place from October 1 to October 3, 2020 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Show Director Kristy Meade stated in an announcement that was relayed
first to exhibiting companies, “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.”
More information and the most recent program updates, deadlines, pricing
information can be found on Techtextil and Texprocess Americas’ websites.
Registration will remain open, with the Advanced Pricing deadline extended
through September 1, 2020. All event registrations will remain intact and
will be transferred to the new dates.
