The bluesign-certified exhibitor stands are located in Munich in Hall 2, on the right side in the direction of the Performance Forum, at stand numbers 201 – 215. In Annecy, they can be found as a unit between blocks M and L. There is also a performance-table at the Performance Forum dedicated to the bluesign themes.

A brand new and outstanding service for all professional visitors is the “Performance News.” The newspaper for every exhibition contains current information about events, presentations and, of course, text and photos of the latest performance trends in functional materials. The newspaper is distributed free of charge at the fair and, as a special service to all registered guests, exhibitors, and members of the press, advance distribution of performance trends per mailing in digital format: one more reason to register now online for your entrance pass.

The guest speaker program has also been expanded. Over the course of this round of Performance Days about ten interesting topics will be presented. In addition to the popular color trends identified by designer association IDEAS and presented by Nora Kühner, for the first time there will also be a comprehensive presentation about the latest trends in functional fabrics.

This talk presented by industry journalist Ulrike Arlt, will be the kick-off address in Munich. Other new speakers include experts from the Hohenstein Research Institute, who will address the function in functional fabrics, as well as Gerd Bittl from the internet portal Sportsella, who shares the new possibilities of sales training. A special highlight is a presentation by Charline Ducas (Textile Exchange) with lots of information about sustainable materials and the recycling of polyester and nylon.

Performance Days Functional Fabrics Roadshow - “The trend fair where sportswear is made” was launched by the Weichert Agencies in 2008 and is the first and only event of its kind. Created as a special platform for functional sports- and workwear fabrics to include yarns, finishes, and accessories, Performance Days has become established as a semi-annual event currently held in Munich, Germany and Annecy, France. The concept of a combination exhibition and roadshow was initiated to provide immediate visibility to textile manufacturers and suppliers in the major centers of the European sportswear industry. The workshop format is an ideal platform to showcase new fabrics and to establish new business relationships.
