There are no borders, there are no distances. The whole world passed through here.”
Ilse Guimaraes, Superintendent of ASSINTECAL -Suppliers-, organizing entity of the event.
“The online format has its advantages, since it broadens the audience, reduces costs and facilitates the integration of national and international participants. Of course, it is not a substitute for face-to-face meetings, but at a time when it is difficult to host events with many people, it is certainly the best way to keep the business running."
Fernando Pimentel, President of ABIT -Textile Industry Association- organizer of the fair.
“This edition is not just a platform, it is a change in behavior for the technological future. The future of the industry is hybrid and it is redesigning the entire manufactures sector. Fashion had been flirting with this virtual path for quite some time. The pandemic only accelerated the process. The digital model fascinates. If in the physical model we spoke with seven thousand professionals, now we had the opportunity to connect with 10 thousand visitors”.
