Registration is now open for Techtextil North America 2027, set to take place May 11–13 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia. The event will bring together professionals from across the technical textiles and nonwovens industry at a time when material selection and manufacturing capabilities are playing an increasingly central role in product development and industrial performance.
A Fabric Is No Longer Defined Simply by What It Covers
Across today’s industrial landscape, fabrics and technical materials are expected to do far more than in previous decades. Depending on the application, a material may need to withstand extreme conditions, reduce overall weight, improve protection, support filtration processes, or deliver functions once associated with entirely different materials. As these performance expectations expand, so does the need for specialized materials, technical expertise, and manufacturing solutions capable of meeting them.
The nonwovens industry and technical textiles sector together serve a wide range of sectors, including aerospace, automotive, medical, construction, filtration, protective applications, and industrial manufacturing. Each application brings its own set of requirements, spanning thermal resistance, strength-to-weight performance, durability, flexibility, and production efficiency.
What Techtextil North America 2027 Will Offer Attendees
For companies developing products or evaluating new manufacturing capabilities, finding the right material is only part of the process. Understanding how it performs under real conditions, how it is processed at scale, and whether it can meet production requirements is equally important.
Techtextil North America 2027 is designed to bring these considerations together in a shared industry environment. The event will connect material suppliers, technology providers, manufacturers, engineers, researchers, and sourcing professionals across the full technical textiles and nonwovens value chain. Attendees will have the opportunity to examine functional materials, compare production technologies, discuss application requirements directly with suppliers, and identify solutions relevant to their specific operations.
Innovation Awards and Student Research Poster Program
Advancements in technical textiles create opportunities for new products, but moving those developments into viable commercial applications requires collaboration across research, engineering, material supply, and manufacturing. The 2027 event will address these different stages of development through its exhibition, educational programming, and special features.
The Innovation Awards will highlight advancements in materials, products, applications, and technologies across the technical textiles landscape. The Student Research Poster Program will bring attention to emerging research and to the next generation of professionals entering the technical textile field. Industry discussions and educational programming will provide attendees with additional perspectives on changing material requirements, manufacturing challenges, and new application areas taking shape.
Co-Location with Texprocess Americas at the Georgia World Congress Center
The 2027 edition of Techtextil North America will be held alongside Texprocess Americas at the Georgia World Congress Center, bringing two complementary segments of the textile industry together under one roof in Atlanta. While Techtextil North America concentrates on technical textiles, nonwovens, and advanced materials, Texprocess Americas focuses on the equipment, technology, and processes involved in sewn-product manufacturing.
The co-location gives industry professionals the ability to examine both material development and production capabilities during the same visit. This creates additional possibilities for sourcing, technology evaluation, and business development across both segments of the industry.
With registration now open, the Techtextil North America 2027 event represents an opportunity for professionals across the technical textiles and nonwovens industry to connect, evaluate solutions, and engage with the full scope of the sector’s current capabilities and development.
