INDEX '17 isn't the only nonwovens-related event happening in Geneva, Switzerland this week. For the first time ever, show organizer, EDANA, is colocating its European filtration conference, Filtrex Europe, alongside INDEX. The seventh edition of the conference will be held April 5-6 at PalExpo. All Filtrex attendees will have the added benefit of access to the INDEX show floor while INDEX visitors will be able to visit the Filtrex tabletop display.

A key highlight of Filtrex will be its diversified program including keynote speakers Nino Künzil, of the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute, and Adrian Wilson, editorial consultant and analyst. In addition to the keynote session, the event will feature six other sessions with speakers from Freudenberg, Lenzing, Ahlstrom, Johns Manville and many more leading companies in the field of filtration.
