After being delayed for over a year and a half due to the global coronavirus pandemic, INDEX20 will finally be taking place at Palexpo in Geneva Oct. 19-22, 2021.

For the safety of visitors and exhibitors, Palexpo is putting in place any health measures that are required, so that the event can be enjoyed and business can be conducted without any safety concerns. These health measures can be viewed on INDEX’s website at www.indexnonwovens.com.

For those who can’t come to Geneva in person, and for the first time ever, INDEX will also include an interactive and immersive virtual platform. Visitors from anywhere in the world will be able to watch presentations, interact directly with speakers, exhibitors and other participants and even arrange live discussions together.

There will also be a thought-provoking Sector Seminar Program on-site. Composed of six free-to-attend half-day seminars covering highly innovative and enterprising sectors including Infection Prevention, Smart Nonwovens, Nonwovens and Sustainability, Geotextiles, Filtration and Transportation, each sector will feature a wide selection of eminent speakers discussing up to the minute topics in the field. Each one will take place live in Geneva and, in parallel on the virtual platform, where all attendees will be able to interact with speakers, participate in discussions and Q & A sessions.

Meanwhile, live visitors can explore the INDEX Innovation Lab, an entire zone dedicated to discovering at first-hand the depth of innovation and imagination in the nonwovens industry and its suppliers.

Within the show floor, nonwovens-related exhibitors will showcase advancements in roll goods production, raw material use and machinery technology providing a snapshot of what is happening in nonwovens.
