The technologies to be unveiled include self-heating winter coats and boot insoles, smart shirts for men, women and children that monitor everything from steps and calories, to breathing and heart rates, leg bands that measure muscle performance and help avoid injuries, LED-backlit apparel and textiles and socks that improve balance, and multi-sensor insoles that help prevent falls.
Representatives from over 20 countries will visit the ATCS show to exhibit their trending apparel and textiles. "The participation of a rapidly-growing number of local and international exhibitors demonstrates confidence in the Canadian economy and the importance of the apparel and textile industry both in Toronto and nationally," said Jason Prescott, CEO of JP Communications, North America's leading publisher of B2B trade platforms TopTenWholesale.com and Manufacturer.com and organiser of ATSC.
ATSC will also feature three full days of seminars, panels and sessions by leaders in industry, government and fashion, and a fashion runway event showcasing Canadian student and international exhibitor designs. (RR)
