Running alongside the new Sportswear Pro exhibition, FESPA Global Print Expo 2024, which is scheduled from March 19 – 22, 2024 at RAI Amsterdam, The Netherlands, delegates will learn about the latest developments in the sportswear manufacturing industry, as well as cutting edge innovations used in on demand and customised sportswear production.

Innovations in Materials and Fabrics for Sportswear – As businesses and individuals strive to operate in more sustainable ways, the shedding of fossil-fuel and microplastics from fabrics is increasingly frowned upon. In this session, Paul Foulkes-Arellano, Founder of consulting firm Circuthon, will shed light on sustainable textile finishes, dyes and printing, and what this means for the sportswear sector. Circular Economy Redefined – Designing for Circularity – Ana Kristiansson, Founder and Creative Director at Desinder, will explore the immense power of circular thinking while outlining a framework for sustainable design strategies for the sportswear industry.
