Techtextil North America
Sands Expo & Convention Center
April 21-23, 2009
Techtextil North America West Coast Launch Weathers the Economy and Connects Key Buyers with High Quality Suppliers
The sixth edition of Techtextil North America took place April 21 to 23, 2009 at the Sands Expo & Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. This was the first ever edition on the West Coast and resulted in the majority of exhibitors and visitors being pleasantly surprised and pleased despite the current economic conditions. Techtextil North America was previously held only on even years in Atlanta, Georgia but will now be held annually, alternating between Atlanta in the even years and a Western region site in the odd years.
The 2009 event hosted 118 exhibitors from 15 countries, while the total verified attendance reached 1,300 from 34 countries. The show also welcomed four international pavilions from Canada, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom.
“The goal in moving Techtextil North America to an annual event was to reach a new audience. In looking at our final figures, 25% of our 2009 exhibitors were brand new to the event and 28% of our U.S. visitors were from the Western Region. Since only 4% of our visitors at the 2008 event were from the Western Region, we are certainly on the right track to bringing Techtextil North America to a new audience of both exhibitors and visitors,” stated David Audrain, President of Messe Frankfurt USA.

Please note that in 2010 Techtextil North America will be co-located with SPESA Expo and ATME-I/MEGATEX. The three events will take place under the umbrella name of the Textile and Sewn Products Industry Week (TaSPI).
The three shows will take place in adjacent halls during the same dates, providing tremendous value for textile and sewn products industry professionals at all levels of the textile and sewn products manufacturing and application supply chains. This new event will create a truly “must attend” industry event for the Americas in 2010.
The co-location and alignment means that attendees will be able to move freely between the individual shows and benefit from the industry-leading educational and networking seminars and special events all in the same venue.
