“The health and well being of our staff, members and guests is paramount. We had a strong safety plan in place that exceeded the suggested guidelines, but with travel and border restrictions in place along with the rising Covid-19 cases in Indiana, we believe this is the right decision,” Steve Schiffman, IFAI president/CEO, said in a press release. “We look forward to hosting the industry in Nashville, TN next year for our 100th annual in-person Expo.”

To prepare for this decision, IFAI consulted the IFAI board of directors, industry leaders, exhibitors as well as surveyed previous IFAI Expo attendees to see their level of interest in attending an in-person event in November 2020. IFAI learnt that there was a great appetite for IFAI Expo just not in-person this year. Although IFAI is disappointed to not to be able to host IFAI Expo in Indianapolis, the association is excited to announce that IFAI Expo can maintain its role as the #1 gathering space for innovation, sourcing and networking in the US textile industry.
