•Binders & Additives
•Building & Industrial Mat
•Converting & Web-handling
•Filtration
•Flame Retardants
•Functional Performance
•Insulation
•Melt Blown & Spunmelt Processes
•Modeling
•Nanofibers
•Polymers & Fibers
•Process Technologies
•Protective Materials & Technologies

Among the other highlights of INTC 2008:
•In 2005, a separate program co-sponsored by the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) was held in conjunction with INTC 2005. Due to popular demand, Nonwovens Enhancements: Innovations in Coloration and Finishing is back and will team up with INTC to spotlight these value added processes for nonwovens.
•A Table-top Event & Reception will provide attendees with the opportunity to network with more than 30 corporate and university in an informal, relaxed setting.
