Matchmaking at Material World N.Y.

Material World New York, set for Sept. 25–27, will feature a new matchmaking service aimed at bringing retailers and brands together with domestic and international manufacturers and suppliers.

Interested parties can visit the Material World Web site (www.material-world.com), click on the “matchmaking@materialworld” link and fill out a request form.

The form contains extensive areas of interest featuring fabric, trim and technology. Attendees will then be matched with representatives from exhibiting companies offering complementary capabilities. Once at the show, the parties will report to the Material World Matchmaking Lounge, located in the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

Other new features at Material World New York include areas covering eco-fabrics, performance fabrics, PLM, design and merchandising technology, and home furnishings.—R.M.
