INDA, the Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry, has announced the initial programme for the debut edition of HYGIENIX, the premier event for the absorbent hygiene and personal care markets, which will take place from 26-29 October, in St. Petersburg, FL.

The new event is the result of the merger of INDA’s VISION Consumer Products Conference with the long-standing INSIGHT International Conference to create a singular event designed to provide participants with greater value for their investment.

HYGIENIX will feature a full agenda over three days with networking, informative educational sessions and product award presentations. Speaker presentations will focus on market trends and statistics, achieving product thinness in hygiene and personal care products, the refinement of incontinence markets, fit and form, material and technology advancements, and more.

Essential event

Speakers include experts from Euromonitor International, Price Hanna Consultants, INDA, BASF Corporation, Drylock Technologies NV, RISI, Home Delivery Incontinence Service, Butterfly Health, National Association for Continence, Aurizon Ultrasonics, LLC, Creative Machine Designs, Tredegar Film Products, H.B. Fuller, Bostik, Rem-Brands, Barnhardt Manufacturing Company, and Schlegel and Partners.

“The creation of HYGIENIX from the merger of VISION and INSIGHT fulfils the need for a major focal point in North America for the important hygiene and personal care markets,” commented Dave Rousse, INDA President.

“If you are a producer, supplier, brand owner or consultant to this significant nonwovens sector, you will want to register soon for this essential event. The Renaissance Vinoy is a highly lauded conference venue and St. Petersburg in late October is a great place to gather.”

Emphasis on hygiene

HYGIENIX represents the mix of absorbent hygiene and personal care, with the emphasis on hygiene, the larger nonwoven component of the two segments and the biggest nonwovens market overall.

Many hygiene products have personal care allied products, such as wipes, under the same brand, so keeping the two together provides the most value for industry participants who buy and sell these products, according to INDA.

Networking opportunities

Networking opportunities include a welcome reception on 26 October at the Museum of Fine Arts; tabletop displays and receptions from 27-28 October; and Dining with Industry Thought Leaders at pre-selected restaurants with market influencers on 28 October.

INDA also will award the 2015 Visionary Award to the winning company for their innovative use of nonwovens fabrics innovations in hygiene/medical and personal care products, as well as present Hygienix Rewards selected from an exclusive drawing.
