Texworld NYC’s 20th anniversary edition will bring together Texworld, Apparel Sourcing, Home Textiles Sourcing and Printsource under one roof from July 29-31.
Featuring 425+ exhibitors, the event combines global sourcing, trend forecasting, sustainability, AI-focused discussions and technical workshops, strengthening its role as a leading North American textile sourcing platform.
This year’s event is particularly special as Texworld NYC celebrates its 20th anniversary, marking two decades of connecting the global textile and apparel community through innovation, inspiration, and meaningful business opportunities. What began in 2006 as a modest textile sourcing event has evolved into one of North America’s leading sourcing platforms—offering unparalleled access to the entire textile and apparel supply chain.
“As we celebrate 20 years of Texworld NYC, we’re also celebrating the incredible global community of designers, brands, manufacturers, and industry leaders that have shaped the event into what it is today,” said Jennifer Bacon, Vice President, Fashion and Apparel Shows at Messe Frankfurt Inc. “This milestone edition reflects our continued commitment to providing meaningful opportunities for sourcing, education, and collaboration while creating space for the conversations and innovations that will define the future of the industry.”
