C
an you believe the
last Functional Fabric
Fair in New York was
in 2019? So much has
happened since then,
the world is almost unrecognizable. e
Performance Fabric world has changed a
lot too. We have become more educated,
more aware of the carbon footprint our
industry contributes to the environment
and more proactive addressing this
issue. Functional Fabric Fair and
PERFORMANCE DAYS are trying to lead
the charge in this market to organize,
promote and unite everyone involved
to, cooperatively, use the same metrics,
score and grade criteria to ultimately
determine a garment's carbon emission.
Addressing the greenwashing and the
false narrative has been at the forefront
of our Expert Talks and consistently a
topic in our communication on our digital
platform, e Loop.
As we emerge from lengthy Covid
travel bans, our events will resemble the
look of the Fairs held in 2019 in terms of
the scope of our exhibitors. We could not
be more thrilled with the attention and
participation our visitors have given us
in Portland during the Fall of 2021 and
in Spring 2022, and we have had more
registrations for this New York event than
any other, ever.
We try to keep our ear to the ground
and listen to all suggestions and criticisms
about our events. Feedback from all of you
is vital to the future success of the Fair. We
hope you continue to share your thoughts,
as we give them our utmost consideration.
Please feel free to reach out, and let us
know how we can serve this industry better.
Looking forward to seeing everyone on
the show floor.
