The triennial INDEXTM global nonwoven event from Edana will be held 20 – 23 October 2020 in Geneva Switzerland. (NOTE: These represent new dates since this story was published.) INDEX 2020 will once again include a geosynthetics seminar. The last edition of the conference included contributions from luminaries such as IGS Past Presidents Daniele Cazzuffi and Russel Jones, Francesco Fontana, and Pete Stevenson, among others.
UPDATE (March 2, 2020): Coronavirus Concerns Move INDEX 2020 to October
This year, Cazzuffi returns in the role as moderator for INDEX 2020. He’ll lead a very strong group of speakers for a 3-hour program (“Geosynthetics & Environment”). NOTE: This program is being updated following the Swiss government’s mandate to move the event further in the year.
