LA Textile Show Moves to February
Typically held in March or April, the Spring/Summer edition of the Los Angeles International Textile Show is moving its dates to February.The next show will be held Feb. 25–27 at the California Market Center, a move that show organizers determined was better suited for exhibitors and attendees.“The decision to move the dates is the result of many requests from exhibitors and attendees asking to move the show earlier in the season,” said CMC spokesperson Alyson Bender. With an internationally busy trade show schedule in March 2013, we want to coordinate our dates to make it the most convenient for industry guests, so they are not overlapping with other show dates.”
At the recent Oct. 22–24 run of the show, several exhibitors in the Korean Pavilion, hosted by KOTRA, the Korean Trade-Investment Agency, said a scheduling conflict with Intertextile in Shanghai impacted show attendance, as well as exhibitor participation in the show.The previous season, the LA Textile Show dates in March overlapped with Intertextile, the Yarn Expo in Shanghai and Interfiliere in Hong Kong.The Los Angeles International Textile Show features a mix of domestic and international resources for fabric, trim, business tools and trend information.
