As the most anticipated and highly regarded event focusing on the entire nonwoven fabric supply chain, we look forward to connecting with all aspects of the industry during IDEA 2027 in Kansas City.

The widespread participation of exhibitors at IDEA, makes this event a key strategic opportunity to interact with the global nonwoven industry. It serves as a focal point to convene with our existing supply chain partners, engage with new suppliers and customers, cultivate and strengthen our expanded industry network, monitor the latest innovations and analyze competitive market players. Very few events maximize your resource efficiency with such a high value return as INDA’s IDEA Expo.

Nonwoven Head of Sales & KAM Americas
Lenzing Fibers, Inc.
We gain tremendous value from attending INDA tradeshows, with IDEA being the cornerstone. IDEA provides a one-stop shop to connect with all our key raw material and nonwoven suppliers globally, participate in seminars, and explore new technologies for our products. Traditionally we participate in IDEA as an attendee, but we expanded our nonwoven strategy to include sales and opted for a booth display at IDEA. The exposure and customer connections gained at the IDEA show have been incredibly helpful!

IDEA has been incredibly valuable, allowing us to connect with current customers, prospects, and industry partners from around the globe. The high energy, focused environment lends itself to a productive and enjoyable conference that keeps us coming back.

IDEA may be the single best opportunity in the Nonwovens industry to engage with other businesses and move our agenda forward. We have been able to develop relationships, open sales channels, share innovation, solve supply challenges, and increase brand awareness. I’m not aware of a better opportunity to accomplish all of this in one place. We are looking forward to more at IDEA27!
