The upcoming Digital Innovation Event on September 9th in Duesseldorf, Germany, sponsored by Kornit Digital, intends to inspire eCommerce businesses, textile producers and designers, home textile manufacturers and everybody else who is interested in the topic about the opportunities enabled by digital textile printing.
Largest collection of independent designers in the world
Keynote speaker is Caroline Okun, Director of Sprout Patterns, which is a new service of Spoonflower, offering public indie sewing patterns that can be combined with Spoonflower designs to create customized cut and sew projects. Her presentation is entitled “Fiber Revolution: The Pathway to Mass Customization”. With over 350,000 designs, the Spoonflower marketplace represents the largest collection of independent designers in the world. It also is used by a community of over 3.5 million individuals, who use their own designs to make curtains, quilts, clothes, bags, furniture, dolls, pillows, framed artwork, costumes, banners and much, much more. Spoonflower has recently opened a European production facility in Berlin and relies on Kornit Digital’s technology as the backbone of the company’s printed fabric production.
High-caliber presenters and partners from the industry
Also on the agenda are presentations and workshops with software and technology experts in digital textile production: e.g. a specialist in printing and color management software for textile printing systems, a leading manufacturer of digital cutting systems and an expert in 3D visualization of fabric, cut piece and the human being.
Oliver Luedtke, Marketing Director at Kornit Digital Europe, is excited about the line-up of high-caliber presenters and partners from the industry: “Digital production technologies have arrived in the textile markets. We know from our customers that those technologies enable new and exciting business models, and we would like to demonstrate these opportunities to everybody who is either active or interested in the field of digitally produced textiles”.
