Techtextil North America and Texprocess Americas further delayed
Organisers of Techtextil North America and Texprocess Americas have announced that the co-located events have been postponed beyond 2020.
The next Techtextil North America will take place August 23-25, 2021 in Raleigh, North Carolina. The next Texprocess America will take place May 17-19, 2022 in Atlanta, Georgia and will be co-located with the 2022 edition of Techtextil North America.
The North America events, organised by Messe Frankfurt, were originally postponed to October 2020, but the continued rise of coronavirus cases in the US led to the additional delay.
Kristy Meade, group show director, said in a letter to exhibitors: “While we firmly believe that our health and safety plan exceeded all recommended guidelines to provide a safe trade show environment, several outside factors including travel restrictions, quarantine mandates and other governmental regulations across the globe have made moving forward with an in-person event impossible at this time.”
In the meantime, she said, there will be “opportunities to share products, discover the latest innovations and technologies, and network with other industry professionals until we are all able to come together again”.
