Attendees will also learn about potential business applications in the racing industry during the presentation "Trends & Opportunities in Motorsports" by Karen Ray, N.C. State Representative. Ray will draw on her service as a motorsports industry business owner, N.C. State Representative, and a member of the N.C. State Motorsports Caucus to educate attendees on motorsports applications for high-performance textiles.

North Carolina is home to 45 Winston Cup teams; 40 Busch Series teams; 20 Craftsman Truck series teams; as well as the offices of seven Motorsports-sanctioning bodies, including NASCAR's marketing and research development offices; so the "Hub of Motorsports in the United States" takes this $1.5 billion industry very seriously.

NASCAR: Behind the scenes
During the conference, attendees will take a private tour of the NASCAR garages. Here they will network with the suppliers and discuss the unusual materials and applications unique to the racing industry with the technical racing staff.

Networking and innovation:
Attendees have exciting networking opportunities at IFAI Expo 2008 with an international consortium of engineers, designers, manufacturers and textile professionals. Safety Conference attendees will enjoy a special reception hosted at the Design Exhibition 2008 - a special exhibition featuring far-out innovations in health and safety curated by Marie O'Mahony.
