TV TecStyle Visions 2018 – Over 90 % of the space sold

Europe’s leading trade fair for textile decoration and promotion bigger than ever before

The 10th edition of TV TecStyle Visions, taking place from 15th to 17th February 2018 on the grounds of the Stuttgart Trade Fair, has already broken all records in advance. Barely ten months before the anniversary edition, the organisers report over 90 % of the exhibition space already sold. The organisers gmk Veranstaltungsservice and Stuttgart Trade Fair had already taken the high demand of exhibitors into account in the planning stage by increasing the exhibition space from 20000 to 25000 square metres.  The success bears out the planners’ foresight: more exhibition space has already been sold than was actually available at the previous fair.

Europe’s leading trade fair for textile decoration and promotion is taking place next year not only against a backdrop of growth, but also appropriately featuring the anniversary under the theme of “Celebration”. To the sound of champagne corks popping, the organisers – together with the exhibitors and visitors – will be looking back on the previous years. The anniversary will be accompanied by a large number of offers and special surprises.

The 2018 edition of TV TecStyle Visions again promises to become a key industry event, bringing the latest finishing technologies and trendy product innovations together under one roof. More than 140 prestigious manufacturers and dealers of textiles, machines and materials for textile decoration have already confirmed their attendance at the top trade fair in Europe. The theme of textiles is enjoying an unbroken run. Virtually all important brands in the industry will be presenting their collections in the newly erected Hall 10. This exhibition space, some 15,000 square metres in size, is already practically booked out. Hall 8 will be focusing on everything to do with the theme of technology. A large number of prestigious exhibitors are coming from abroad, thus confirming the international dimension of the exhibition.

The 2018 edition of TV TecStyle Visions is also not restricted to a pure product show. The professional visitors once again expect a practical industry event with an exciting supporting programme. The exhibitors will be revealing many tips and tricks for embroidering and printing textiles. Those who like, can look over the shoulder of the screen printing legend Charlie Taublieb in “Charlie’s Corner” and learn at first-hand about the challenges of screen printing, or take a freshly printed shirt home with them. Fixed items on the programme in Stuttgart will be the “TecStyle Fashion Show”, the “Style at Work” discovery tour as well as the “TV Expert Forum” organised by the Academy of Textile Finishing.

At the end, it will be really creative at the Golden Shirt Award: appropriately for the TV TecStyle Visions anniversary edition, the popular competition will be held in 2018 under the theme “Celebration”. The professional visitors in Stuttgart can gain an impression of the best entries while the winners can delight in the total of EUR 10000 Euros on offer.

TV TecStyle Visions is Europe’s leading trade fair for textile decorations and promotion and takes place every two years in the Stuttgart Trade Fair Halls. The exhibition focuses on textile screen printing, digital textile printing, transfer printing solutions, embroidery, rhinestone application techniques, flocking, laser engraving as well as services. In addition, an important section is given over to promotion wear, corporate fashion, workwear as well as textile accessories. A total of 270 exhibitors and some 11,000 visitors are expected at TV TecStyle Visions from 15th to 17th February 2018.

The events represent independent platforms for different target groups – TV TecStyle Visions for textile decorators, wetec for the specialist world of advertising technology, digital printing, digital signage and light signage, GiveADays for the promotional items sector and POS Masters for marketing, design and point-of-sale techniques. With one admission ticket, visitors gain entrance to all four fairs where they learn about all aspects of communication beyond their own core business.
