INDA, the Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry, has announced the programme for the Vision 2014 Consumer Products Conference that will be held from 27-30 January 2014 at The Westin Galleria in Dallas, Texas.

Major trends affecting the nonwovens and engineered fabrics consumer products industry will be highlighted in the two and a half day programme.

“For the past 13 years, the Vision Consumer Products Conference has kept the nonwovens/engineered fabrics industries abreast of the trends that impact business worldwide for consumer products,” explained Dave Rousse, President of INDA. “Vision 2014 gives professionals the information they need to further their organisation’s interests and product portfolios.”

Programme

Kicking off the 13th consecutive year will be the Welcome Reception Monday night, sponsored by Kimberly-Clark Professional Partnership Products along with INDA.

The conference leads off Tuesday morning with a diaper workshop led by diaper expert, Carlos Richer, Principal, Richer Investment SA de CV. The diaper workshop entitled ‘Progressive Diaper Design: Beyond the Basics’ will build upon last year’s diaper workshop and assist attendees in understanding the needs of their customers.

After the workshop, attendees will get a State of the Industry report from Dave Rousse, President INDA, and a detailed overview of the current economic status from Chad Moutray, Chief Economist, National Association of Manufacturers, as it relates to the nonwovens/engineered fabrics industry and manufacturing.

Networking opportunities

Vision affords multiple opportunities for making business contacts via the Welcome Reception Monday night, table-top displays/receptions evenings and other networking events. There will also be a new feature.

‘Dinner with Thought Leaders’ is scheduled for Wednesday evening and will provide several small groups of Vision attendees the chance to meet with industry opinion leaders from the end of the consumer product value chain to discover what is trending, fading and on the horizon for the industry. 

Visionary Award 2014

Once again a highlight of Vision 2014 will be the presentation of the prestigious 2014 Visionary Award. The INDA Visionary Award recognises and rewards innovation in new consumer end products that utilize nonwoven fabrics in a way that expands the usage of nonwovens.

Finalists will be announced on the Vision website in mid-December. Companies chosen as finalists will make their presentations to Vision attendees. The recipient of the Award will be announced on the final day of the event.
