IFAI - BostonThe Industrial Fabrics Association International has officially kicked off the observance of its 100th Anniversary year in 2012 as the largest, longest-running trade association for the specialty fabrics industry.

And when its trade show doors open at its Expo Americas 2012 at the Boston Convention Center, Nov. 7–9, 2012, the entire specialty fabrics industry is invited to take part in a momentous three-day centenary celebration.

Expo Americas is literally the specialty fabric industry’s one-stop-shop for connecting buyers with sellers, featuring exhibitors from the industry’s top companies in fabrics, fiber, films and chemicals, end products, components, equipment and technology services.

In addition to the training tracks the conference also includes two events which explore highly engineered specialty fabrics solutions:

  • The Advanced Textiles Americas 2012 conference, a forum on new research which demonstrates how to use innovative technology to benefit your company’s next generation of products.
  • The 8th International Conference on Safety and Protective Fabrics–a biennial conference which will include a full day of materials research and applications

The exhibit floor will host one of the largest shows to date, showcasing a diverse and comprehensive representation of industry markets.
