New shows in the Performance Days circuit
Performance Days and its satellite events, the Functional Fabric Fair in the United States, co-managed with Reed Exhibitions, and Functional Textiles Shanghai, operated in collaboration with Tengda Exhibition, form a worldwide network of seven sourcing events for the performance wear sectors. 

Three new events will be added to the circuit, Sportstextiles has been told. The Functional Fabric Fair is launching a winter edition on the east coast, with a new fair planned in Orlando alongside Reed’s long-running PGA golf show. “There is already a small sourcing section at the PGA,” said Stephen McCullough, head of Functional Fabric Fair at Reed. That section could well be expanded into a stand-alone functional fabric fair, with a first edition planned for January 2026. 

Performance Days will also be adding Guangzhou to its roster of shows in China, said Marco Weichaert, founder and head of Performance Days. 

All told, the addition of a once yearly show in Orlando and twice yearly in Ganzhou brings the number of Performance Days events up to ten.
