Located at the new National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics - Autumn Edition 2015 will cover around 200,000 sqm, up from 170,000 sqm in 2014, and is expected to attract around 4,000 exhibitors, compared with 3,844 at the Autumn Edition 2014, from 30 countries and regions. The 2015 Spring Edition was held in March at the same venue. Wendy Wen, senior general manager of fair organiser Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, commented: "Despite some logistical issues due to our first time at this fairground, on balance the fair in March was a strong success due to the new venue attracting a lot more quality trade buyers. This was due to a few reasons, including the closer proximity of the fairground to nearby textile manufacturing hubs, but also the three concurrent fairs: Yarn Expo, CHIC and PH Value. In particular, the co-location of the CHIC fashion garment fair for the first time resulted in a large increase in big-name Chinese fashion brands sourcing from Intertextile Shanghai exhibitors, and we predict this will be even more prevalent in October as the fairs are held concurrently for the second time." In addition to the concurrent fairs, at the 2015 Autumn Edition, Planet Textiles 2015: The Sustainable Textile Event will take place on Day 2 of the fair (October 14), featuring some of the industry's foremost experts as speakers.
