visitors.
New symposium concept
The concepts of both the Techtextil Symposium (from 24 to 26 May
2011) and the Avantex Symposium (on 24 and 25 May 2011) have
been revised to ensure greater transparency. There will be two
lecture blocks in the morning, each with six lectures, and two in the
afternoon, also with six lectures per block. Thus, two blocks of
lectures will always be held concurrently. The daily timetable has
also been changed with the morning programme running from 09.30
to 12.15 hrs and, following a break for lunch, the afternoon programme
from 14.00 to 16.45 hrs. This restructuring gives visitors
and exhibitors the chance to take part in as many of the highly
interesting lectures as possible.
A programme committee made up of renowned international experts
has compiled the individual lecture blocks. Each lecture block is
devoted to a single subject.
Ten lecture blocks on three days
The 16 th Techtextil Symposium begins on Tuesday, 24 May, under
the chairmanship of Dr. Guy Némoz, Consultant for Technical
Textiles, Lyon, France, on the subject of ‘Fibre-reinforced composites’.
The individual presentations will explore the opportunities
offered by combining different fibres and materials. Also on the
Tuesday of the fair, Dr. Klaus Jansen of the Berlin-based
Forschungskuratorium Textil research organisation will chair lectures
on the subject of ‘New materials’, reviewing innovative material
