Textile Institute World Conference 2012 Registration now open
March 14, 2012 - United Kingdom
The Textile Institute together with its partner the Universiti Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia, is pleased to announce that registration for the 2012 World Conference is now open.
The conference will provide an opportunity for participants to travel to the tropical equator line to experience Malaysian society and observe the country as it moves towards building a high-income society for 2020. Malaysia is a country of contrasts, from its towering skyscrapers to its traditional wooden huts built on stilts it amazes at every turn. Recent years have seen Malaysia become a Mecca for design, Director of Operations and Membership, The Textile Institute, Stephanie Dick commented, “we are really pleased to be able to provide details regarding this year’s World Conference. Eclectic cultures and natural wonders signify that Malaysia will be an exciting venue for the 88th Textile Institute World Conference. Its commitment to the creative industries and innovation mean a perfect fit with the Institute’s own philosophy of bringing together diverse textile areas to exchange ideas.”
Developments of textile materials, equipment and processes have extensively impacted the textile industry worldwide. While conventional textiles present consistent growth in emerging economies, a movement into medical, sports, aerospace, automotive and geotextiles applications (non-conventional markets) included within technical textiles and composites, with value-added elements has seen the industry change drastically. With these changes, The Textile Institute World Conference 2012 will specifically focus on developing methodology for connecting research and innovation with emphasis on establishing enterprising spirit among its members and the textile community in general.
The organisers, The Textile Institute together with the Universiti Teknologi MARA, would like to invite local and international participants to attend the conference.
The conference will cover, but is not limited to the following areas: Clothing Manufacturing; Composites; Design, Fashion, and Footwear; Dyeing, Finishing, and Printing; Education and Training; Future Trends and Visions; Global Business, Marketing and Management; Healthcare and Medical Textiles; Historical; Natural Fibres; Personal Protective Equipment; Quality Control, Testing and Evaluation; Smart Fabrics and Wearable Technologies Sustainability; Technical Textiles; Textile Manufacturing.
