We spoke about the Material World?global fabric?and sourcing trade event?earlier this year here. By the way don’t forget it is coming up this September 25-27, 2007.

I received an email from their newsletter Material Issues and they highlighted some of the shows educational programs. After reading over some of the conferences I have to say it is definitely more than just a sourcing show for the textile industry.

The topics they touch on describe fabric trends, color, legislation, technology and design.

On the first day they get the ball rolling with a discussion from AAFA’s headliner event People, Planet, and Profit: Reaching for the Pinnacle of Environmental Sustainability, which goes in-depth about notable companies who are profiting while still reaching the pinnacle of environmental sustainability.

I spoke about the PLM event in the introduction review of Material World, but didn’t really go in-depth. AAFA’s supplier resource committee will present Winning Life Cycle Management Strategies-Achieving Speed, Visibility, and Control on the second day of the event.

For the third event AAFA and The Doneger Group will discuss trends. Changing Trends In Trending examining the changing methods that the fashion system is undergoing as it constantly adapts to the evolving retail landscape and consumer lifestyle. This is the only free program of the events.

Last, but not least advance trend/color notification for Autumn/Winter 2008?seasons for apparel and home industries.

I would highly suggest visiting this event if your are looking for trend/color direction, fabrics, and/or interested in the new “green” trend that is going around.
