TV TecStyle Visions will take place for the 10th time from the 15th to 17th of February, 2018 in Stuttgart. The hosts are planning many surprises and an attractive supporting program for the approximately 11.000 visitors and 270 exhibitors expected to attend.
Celebrate appropriately
TV TecStyle Visions is hosted every two years by EXPO 4.0, four trade shows on visual and haptic communication combined under one roof. The exhibition of TV TecStyle Visions focuses on textile silk screen printing, digital textile printing, transfer printing solutions, embroidery, techniques of rhinestone application, flocking, laser engraving and services. Textiles and printing substrates, such as promotional textiles, workwear and textile accessories, are also largely considered.
“This is a clear sign for the high reputation the exhibition enjoys within the industry. Along with exhibitors and visitors, we are going to celebrate the 10th anniversary in an appropriate manner,” says Gruber, director of gmk Veranstaltungsservice GmbH, who is the project leader of TV TecStyle Visions, along with Nicole Dalkolmo (Messe Stuttgart).
A better presentation area
A new aspect of the 10th event is the arrangement of the halls. “Together with our partner, Messe Stuttgart, we are offering hall 8, as well as the new, bigger hall 10 as a presentation area for the very first time. We can react better to the special requirements of our clients and create an even better presentation area,” says Gruber. He adds that the relocation will benefit both exhibitors and visitors. Hall 10 is where chiefly textile companies will present themselves, whereas in hall 8, the large technical hall, companies will introduce new machines and techniques relevant to textile decoration.
Build on success
The team of TV TecStyle Visions, with the project leaders Gruber and Dalkolmo, wants to build on its success in 2016 and to expand the international event. “Due to the amount of conversations with visitors and exhibitors, and the support of our trade fair advisory board, we are very well aware of the developments within the various areas of the textile decoration industry,” explains Dalkolmo. “In order for TV TecStyle Visions to expand further, we will continue to push the internationalization of exhibitors and visitors for the upcoming event.”
Jubilee reflected in supporting program
One result of the close cooperation between the trade fair team and exhibitors is the extensive supporting program of the anniversary edition 2018. The magazine, “TVP Textile Decoration and Promotion”, will not only organize the supporting program, but also function as a professional supporter and media partner of TV TecStyle Visions. The popular “TecStyle Fashion Show” and the “Style at Work Discovery Tour” are back on the agenda, as well as “TV Forum” and “Charlie’s Corner” with screen-print expert Charlie Taublieb. An enthousiastic Gruber says, “The presentation of the Golden Shirt Awards will be an essential part of the fair’s anniversary edition. We will send out the call of tenders to the public soon. Then the official theme will also be announced. I can already tell you that the jubilee will be reflected in the entire supporting programme.“
