Texworld NYC, Apparel Sourcing Go Virtual in January

font size: 【S】 【M】 【L】

  After careful consideration regarding the increased concerns surrounding Covid-19, as well as New York State regulations, organizers of the Winter 2022 edition in-person segment of Texworld New York City and Apparel Sourcing New York City have made "the difficult decision" to cancel.
  
  
  
  In lieu of the physical event, both shows will continue virtually and can be accessed live during the original show dates, Jan. 25-27. Organizers said their high level of international participation, increasing travel restrictions and rising Covid-19 cases driven by the omicron variant has led to a significant deterioration in the general conditions for holding the in-person shows.
  
  
  
  "Our primary concern is always the responsibility we feel toward our exhibitors, partners, attendees and staff," Jennifer Bacon, show director for fashion and apparel, Messe Frankfurt Inc., said. "While this is disappointing for all involved, we hope there is a level of understanding that this was a necessary step to help keep each other safe in these unprecedented times."
  
  
  
  The virtual platform will open with similar features found on the trade show floor. Attendees will be able to take advantage of such areas as AI-powered matchmaking capabilities of recommended textile suppliers and video meetings. In addition, the educational program both led by a group of speakers covering trend forecasts, industry insights, supply chain policy and transparency, circularity and market intelligence, scheduled for January's in-person show will also continue virtually, with dates and times unchanged.

  Members of the Texworld and Apparel Sourcing New York City team said they remain hopeful and focused on delivering a successful Summer 2022 edition with plans to take place in-person on July 19-21 in New York City.
  
  
  
  Texworld NYC is produced by Messe Frankfurt North America, a subsidiary of Messe Frankfurt Gmbh. Apparel Sourcing New York City is a joint venture partnership between Messe Frankfurt and CCPIT-Tex.
