Utilizing the latest in communications technology as well a traditional print medium, three programs at the IDEA10 International Engineered Fabrics Conference and Exposition will allow exhibitors and attendees to connect with each other like never before possible.
The new IDEA10 social networking site and the debut of IDEA10 TV, being produced by Nonwovens Industry magazine, mark two significant steps in improved networking and communications before and during the three days of IDEA10, at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Miami Beach, FL. In addition, the IDEA News show newspaper, being published by World Textile Publications, will highlight events and companies at IDEA10.
“We want everyone attending IDEA10 to be able to take full advantage of all that the event has to offer and the best way to do this is to improve their ability to network,” said Rory Holmes, president of INDA. “Our new social networking site and IDEA TV will increase the personal communication and contact that has always been a vital aspect of IDEA and the IDEA News will provide a close look at some of the more interesting developments and products at IDEA10. It’s all about networking with the goal of increasing business.”
For the social networking site debut, all registered IDEA10 attendees and exhibitors will be sent an invitation to establish their own home page. The goal is to make it easier for attendees at IDEA10 to set up meetings, discuss important topics and to network in order to get the most out of the three-day event. Attendees are encouraged to register early, so that they can take advantage of this valuable service.
Marking the first time that live “television” will take place at an IDEA show, Nonwovens Industry is producing IDEA TV, a video feed produced from the IDEA10 show floor. Featuring breaking news and special interest features as well as dynamic new marketing opportunities, IDEA TV will be broadcast over the internet and promoted via email to every registered IDEA attendee and subscriber to the Nonwovens Industry Breaking News at IDEA daily electronic newsletter.
