Lempert's entertaining presentation identified and explained impending trends and related specialty fabric solutions to a packed audience of exhibitors and attendees who found his ideas very useful for planning the design and development of products and services for a wide range of customers.
To enrich the participant experience to the max, IFAI Expo 2007 raised the bar even higher from the previous year on educational opportunities with 114 industry speakers and facilitators; nine market-specific symposiums and ten hands-on workshops and seminars.
Many of these sessions sold out and included insights and how-tos on everything from e-textiles, to super technologies for sports gear, a global exchange on battlefield textiles, and a special pre-show symposium for a non-traditional Expo audience of architects, designers and engineers focusing on sustainable design with fabrics--a hot topic and the new wavein the world of building design and construction.
The break-out event at Expo 2007 was an incredibly creative take on high-tech fabrics--a "High-tech Fashion Show"--which drew nearly 500 attendees to a full-out catwalk parade of flashing lights and pumping music with male and female models dressed in the latest apparel that science and engineering have to offer.
"Industrial fabrics" showed off its arrival as a new glamour category-a result of the demand for high-tech function which combines with form and appearance in such intelligentgarment categories as safety and protective wear for military, first-responder and medical personnel; as well as sports apparel.
