The 14^th edition of Techtextil North America, the international trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens, will be held in Chicago, IL, from 20-22 June 2017. The 2017 event will be co-located with JEC Americas composites exhibition and conference, with an expected attendance of more than 3,000 visitors.

According to the organiser Messe Frankfurt, by repositioning to Chicago, the accessibility to a larger audience can be achieved with the two major international airports and easy drive in abilities.

Chicago’s 4 million strong private sector workforce puts a dynamic and thriving business community within steps of the exhibition’s location. Home to more than 270,000 businesses, more than 400 major corporate headquarters, and more than 300 corporate R&D facilities, Chicago is an economic powerhouse of thriving industries.
